The effects of NRF2 induction can be beneficial or detrimental depending on disease context and duration of activation.
NRF2 induction across different disease contexts can be beneficial or detrimental depending on the length of activation.
NRF2 regulates the antioxidant response and also mediates metabolic and protein homeostasis pathways.
The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is best known for its regulation of the antioxidant response. However, its mediation of other pathways, including key aspects of metabolic and protein homeostasis, has continued to emerge.
NRF2 inhibition has gained traction as a strategy for treating cancer and other pathologies with chronic NRF2 activity.
inhibition has gained traction as a viable strategy for treating cancer and other pathologies where NRF2 is chronically active
A major limitation in the NRF2 field is the lack of NRF2-specific therapeutics used in clinic.
a persistent shortcoming in the field is a lack of NRF2-specific therapeutics used in clinic
The review concludes that intracellular iron homeostasis is vital for maintaining inflammatory homeostasis.
The review states that these iron homeostasis processes are regulated by the IRP/IRE system and Nrf2.
