Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that affects the elderly. One of key features AD accumulation reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to an overall increase in oxidative damage. The nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2) master regulator antioxidant response cells. Under low ROS levels, Nrf2 kept cytoplasm. However, production translocation into nucleus, where it activates transcription several genes involved cells’ response. Additionally, activation increases autophagy function. AD, Aβ and tau reduces decreasing reduced levels contribute further by impairing their autophagy-mediated turnover. In this review, we discuss overwhelming evidence indicating genetic or pharmacological as potential approach mitigate pathology.

Over 10% of the global population suffers from kidney disease. However, only replacement therapies, which burden medical expenses, are currently effective in treating Therefore, elucidating complicated molecular pathology disease is an urgent priority for developing innovative therapeutics Recent studies demonstrated that intertwined renal vasculature often causes ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI), generates oxidative stress, and accumulation stress a common pathway underlying various types We reported activating antioxidative transcription factor Nrf2 tubules mice with IRI effectively mitigates tubular damage interstitial fibrosis by inducing expression genes related to cytoprotection against stress. Additionally, since performs multiple functions beyond blood purification, renoprotection activation anticipated lead benefits. Indeed, our experiments indicated possibility anemia, caused impaired production erythroid growth erythropoietin injured kidneys, moderates organ worsened anemic hypoxia. Clinical trials investigating Nrf2-activating compounds patients ongoing, beneficial effects being obtained. Thus, activators expected emerge as first-in-class medicine treatment.

Glycerol-based ether lipids including phospholipids form a specialized branch of that in mammals require peroxisomes for their biosynthesis. They are major components biological membranes and one particular subgroup, the plasmalogens, is widely regarded as cellular antioxidant. Their vast potential to influence signal transduction pathways less well known. Here, we summarize literature showing associations with essential signaling cascades wide variety lipids, platelet-activating factor, alkylglycerols, ether-linked lysophosphatidic acid plasmalogen-derived polyunsaturated fatty acids. The available experimental evidence demonstrates links several common players like protein kinase C, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors or mitogen-activated kinases. Furthermore, lipid levels have repeatedly been connected some most abundant neurological diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease more recently also neurodevelopmental disorders autism. Thus, critically discuss role these compounds etiology pathophysiology diseases an emphasis on processes. Finally, review emerging interest plasmalogens treatment target assessing data highlighting future perspectives. Although many aspects involvement identified vitro still be confirmed vivo, compiled show intriguing properties contributions health will trigger further research.

A salient pathological features in Alzheimer's disease includes redox impairment and neuroinflammation. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) kappa B (NF-ҡB) are the two key transcription factors that regulate cellular responses to neuroinflammation respectively. An effective way confer neuroprotection central nervous system (CNS) is activation of a i.e (Nrf2). enhancer element known as Antioxidant Response Element (ARE) mediates expression phase II detoxification enzymes. Nrf2 nuclear binds ARE thereby transcribing several antioxidant genes. Kelch ECH associating protein-1 (Keap1), culin 3-based E3 ligase, polyubiquitinates targets it for its degradation. Disruption interaction between Keap1/Nrf2 can increase brain's endogenous capacity responsible cell defence against oxidative stress (AD). The current review discusses about Keap1-Nrf2-ARE structure function with special emphasis on various pathways involved positive negative modulation Nrf2, namely Phosphoinositide 3- kinase (PI3K), Glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β), kappa-b (NF-ҡb), Janus kinase/signal transducer activator (JAK-STAT),Tumour Necrosis Factor- α (TNF-α), p38Mitogen-activated protein kinases (p38MAPK), Cyclic AMP response binding (CREB) intrinsic & extrinsic apoptotic pathway. Furthermore, this highlights miscellaneous activators promising therapeutic agents slowingdown progression AD.

Doxorubicin (DOX) is extensively applied in cancer therapy due to its efficacy suppressing progression and inducing apoptosis. After discovery, this chemotherapeutic agent has been frequently used for therapy, leading chemoresistance. Due dose-dependent toxicity, high concentrations of DOX cannot be administered patients. Therefore, experiments have directed towards revealing underlying mechanisms responsible resistance ameliorating adverse effects. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2) signaling activated increase levels reactive oxygen species (ROS) cells protect them against oxidative stress. It reported that Nrf2 activation associated with drug resistance. In exposed DOX, stimulation protects cell death. Various upstream mediators regulate Strategies, both pharmacological genetic interventions, reversing However, induction importance alleviating side effects DOX. Pharmacological agents naturally occurring compounds as the most common amelioration. Furthermore, networks which a key player protection revealed are discussed current review.

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the loss of homeostatic functions that control redox and energy metabolism, neuroinflammation, proteostasis. The transcription factor nuclear erythroid 2–related 2 (NRF2) is a master controller these functions, its overall activity compromised during aging in diseases. However, NRF2 can be activated pharmacologically now being considered common therapeutic target. Many gaps still exist our knowledge specific role plays specialized brain cell or how cells respond to hallmarks This review discusses relevance several hallmark features neurodegenerative current status pharmacological activators might pass through blood-brain barrier provide disease-modifying effect.

Oxidative stress is an essential component in the progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and transcription factor NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) plays critical roles protecting body against oxidative stress. To clarify Nrf2 DKD, this study we prepared compound mutant mice with diabetes loss antioxidative defense. Specifically, Ins2Akita/+ (Akita) knockout (Akita::Nrf2−/−) or Akita induction (Akita::Keap1FA/FA) mice. Eighteen-week-old Akita::Nrf2−/− showed more severe symptoms than In mouse kidneys, glomeruli distended capillary loops, suggesting enhanced mesangiolysis. Distal tubules dilation increase 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine-positive staining. expression glutathione (GSH) synthesis-related genes was decreased, actual GSH level decreased matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging analysis. exhibited inflammation enhancement infiltrated macrophages kidney. further examine compared forty-week-old compounds Nrf2-knockout mildly induced displayed medullary cast formation, but formation ameliorated Akita::Keap1FA/FA Moreover, mice, tubule injury inflammation-related gene were significantly suppressed, which evident kidneys. These results demonstrate that contributes to protection kidneys DKD by suppressing inflammation.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative with amyloid beta (Aβ) deposition and intracellular neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) as its characteristic pathological changes. Ameliorating oxidative stress inflammation has become new trend in the prevention treatment of AD. Dioscin, natural steroidal saponin which exists Dioscoreae nipponicae rhizomes, displays various pharmacological activities, but role still unknown. In present work, effect dioscin on AD was evaluated injured SH-SY5Y cells induced by H2O2 C57BL/6 mice challenged AlCl₃ combined D-galactose. Results showed that obviously increased cell viability decreased reactive oxygen species (ROS) level cells. vivo, improved spatial learning memory abilities well gait interlimb coordination disorders Moreover, distinctly restored levels malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), 42 (Aβ42), acetylcholine (ACh) acetylcholinesterase (AChE) mice, reversed histopathological changes brain tissue.
