... inhibition attenuated UUO- and UIRI-induced mouse renal fibrosis. Further studies revealed that DCN1 loss selectively inhibited cullin3 neddylation and induced its substrate NRF2 accumulation, thereby inhibiting TGFβ-Smad2/3 signaling pathway. Overall, blockade of neddylation through targeted inhibition...

... BPD. This perspective article seeks to review the most recent and relevant literature describing the very early stages of BPD and hyperoxic lung injuries focussing on nuclear factor erythroid derived 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) axis. Indeed, Nrf2/HO1 activation in response to OS induced lung...

... in ischaemic postconditioning cardioprotection, which can be regulated by the Brahma-related gene ( Brg1 ) and nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), although they are both reduced in diabetic hearts. We hypothesized that reduced Brg1/Nrf2 and STAT3 activation may jeopardize IsoPostC-mediated...
