Nrf2alsoinducesseveraltranscriptionfactorsinvolvedinmitochondrialbiogenesis.ManylinesofevidencesuggestthatmitochondrialdysfunctionplaysacentralroleinthepathogenesisofPD.Thus,Nrf2maybeapromisingtargettocounteractmitochondrialdysfunctionanditsconsequencesinParkinson'sdisease(PD)(3).TheKeap1–Nrf2regulatorysystemisadouble-edgedswordforourbody.High-levelNrf2activityincreasescellprotectionandmakesthecellresistanttooxidativeandelectrophilicstresses.Therefore,Nrf2inducerscouldbeeffectiveforcancerchemoprevention.Ontheotherhand,elevatedNrf2activityisalsoadvantageousforcancercellsurvivalandevolution.Thus,Nrf2inhibitorscouldbeeffectiveforanticancertherapy.(4) |
