Modulation of Nrf2/HO-1 by Natural Compounds in Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Oxidative stresses (OSs) are considered a pivotal factor in creating various pathophysiological conditions. Cells have been able to move forward by modulating numerous signaling pathways to moderate the defects of these stresses during their evolution. The company of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) as a molecular sensing element of the oxidative and electrophilic stress and nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related factor 2 (Nrf2) as a master transcriptional regulator of the antioxidant response makes a master cytoprotective antioxidant pathway known as the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway. This pathway is considered a dual-edged sword with beneficial features for both normal and cancer cells by regulating the gene expression of the array of endogenous antioxidant enzymes.
