Targeting Keap1/Nrf2/ARE Signaling Pathway by Esculin in Zebrafish Larvae

ABSTRACT: Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor that plays a crucial role in cellular defense mechanisms by regulating the expression of phase II detoxification enzymes and antioxidant proteins. Nrf2 exerts its protective effects by binding to antioxidant response elements (AREs), which are cis-acting regulatory sequences located upstream of the transcription start site (TSS) of cytoprotective genes. This study aims to identify and characterize AREs in the whole genome of zebrafish larvae exposed to esculin, a bioactive coumarin compound with antioxidant properties. Therefore, a chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high-throughput sequencing (ChIP-Seq) was employed using an Nrf2-specific polyclonal antibody to map genome-wide Nrf2 binding sites. Our findings reveal that Nrf2 interacts with ARE sequences in promoter-proximal and distal regions, highlighting the intricate and dynamic nature of Nrf2-mediated transcriptional regulation. These results provide novel insights into the genome-wide regulatory landscape of Nrf2 in response to esculin exposure, further elucidating its role in modulating oxidative stress-related gene expression.

Sedanolide ameliorates hydrogen peroxide-induced apoptotic cell death via activation of KEAP1-NRF2 pathway

Project description:Sedanolide is a bioactive compound with anti-inflammatory and antitumor activities. Although it has been recently suggested that sedanolide activates the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2) pathway, there is little research on its effects on cellular resistance to oxidative stress. The objective of the present study was to investigate the function of sedanolide in suppressing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-induced oxidative damage and the underlying molecular mechanisms in human hepatoblastoma cell line HepG2 cells. We found that sedanolide activated the antioxidant response element (ARE)-dependent transcription mediated by the nuclear translocation of NRF2. Pathway enrichment analysis of RNA sequencing data revealed that sedanolide upregulated the transcription of antioxidant enzymes involved in the NRF2 pathway and glutathione metabolism. Then, we further investigated whether sedanolide exerts cytoprotective effects against H2O2-induced cell death. We showed that sedanolide significantly attenuated cytosolic and mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation induced by exposure to H2O2. Furthermore, we demonstrated that pretreatment with sedanolide conferred a significant cytoprotective effect against H2O2-induced cell death by preventing the decrease of the mitochondrial membrane potential and the increase of caspase-3/7 activity. Our study demonstrated that sedanolide enhanced cellular resistance to oxidative damage via the activation of the Keich-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1)–NRF2 pathway.

Characterization of RA839, a non-covalent small-molecule binder to Keap1 and selective activator of Nrf2 signalling

Project description:The activation of the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) maintains cellular homeostasis in response to oxidative stress by the regulation of multiple cytoprotective genes. Without stressors the activity of Nrf2 is inhibited by its interaction with the kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1). Here, we describe RA839, a small molecule that binds non-covalently to the Nrf2-interacting kelch domain of Keap1 with a Kd of approximately 6 µM, as demonstrated by X-ray co-crystallization and isothermal titration calorimetry. Whole-genome DNA arrays showed that at 10 µM RA839 significantly regulated 105 genes in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Canonical pathway mapping of these genes revealed an activation of pathways linked with Nrf2 signalling. These pathways were also activated after the activation of Nrf2 by the silencing of Keap1 expression. RA839 regulated only two genes in Nrf2 knockout macrophages. Similar to the activation of Nrf2 by either silencing of Keap1 expression or by the reactive compound CDDO-Me, RA839 prevented the induction of both inducible nitric oxide synthase expression and nitric oxide release in response to lipopolysaccharides in macrophages. In mice RA839 acutely induced Nrf2-target gene expression in liver. RA839 is a selective inhibitor of the Keap1/Nrf2 interaction and a useful tool compound to study the biology of Nrf2. Gene expression profile of bone marrow derived murine macrophages (BMDM) from Nrf2+/+ or Nrf2-/- mice treated with RA838, siKeap1-1 or siKeap1-2 were compared to untreated DMSO control or siControl. Four biological replicates were used for each sample group.

Chemical Modulation of Glycolysis Regulates the KEAP1-NRF2 Pathway Through a Metabolite-Induced Posttranslational Modification

Project description:Glycolysis is a master regulator of cellular energy, synthesis and redox regulation, however the mechanisms that underlie the responses to and regulation of changing glucose metabolism are incompletely understood. The NRF2-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway serves as a central regulator of cellular stress by sensing and eliminating 2 chemically reactive species in the cell. A phenotypic high-throughput chemical screen for novel activators of NRF2 signaling identified an inhibitor of the glycolytic enzyme PGK1. Metabolomic and proteomic profiling experiments revealed that inhibition of PGK1 results in the accumulation of central glycolytic intermediates, as well as the reactive dicarbonyl metabolite methylglyoxal (MGx). MGx selectively modifies reactive residues on KEAP1, resulting in the formation of a covalent KEAP1 homodimer, accumulation of NRF2 and activation of the NRF2 transcriptional program. Proteomic and NMR experiments verified that KEAP1 homodimerization is mediated by a novel post-translational modification, termed MICA, formed by the reaction of methylglyoxal with proximal cysteine and arginine residues. The identified PGK1 inhibitor series was found to be efficacious in a NRF2-dependent mouse model of UV-damage, demonstrating that activation of KEAP1- NRF2 signaling through this mechanism is physiologically relevant. Together, these results demonstrate the existence of direct inter-pathway communication between glycolysis and the KEAP1-NRF2 transcriptional program, which is mediated by a reactive metaboliteinduced post-translational modification (rmPTM). In addition, they provide new insight into metabolic regulation of cell stress response, and a potential therapeutic axis for controlling the cytoprotective antioxidant response in numerous human diseases.

Gene expression in human lymphoblastoid cell-line GM12878 in response to sulforaphane treatment

Project description:To determine if induced NRF2 binding is associated with gene expression in genome-wide. We examined mRNA levels with theAffymetrix Human Exon 1.0 ST platform in human lymphoblastoid GM12878 cells treated with sulforaphane to activate NRF2. Nrf2, a basic leucine zipper transcription factor encoded by the gene NFE2L2, is a master regulator of the transcriptional response to oxidative stress. Nrf2 is structurally and functionally conserved from insects to humans, and it heterodimerizes with the small Maf transcription factors to bind a consensus DNA sequence (the antioxidant response element, or ARE) and regulate gene expression. In this study, we use chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP-seq) and gene expression data to identify direct Nrf2 target genes in human and Drosophila.

Modulation of the Nrf2/Keap1 Pathway by N-Acetylcysteine: A Key Mechanism in the Prevention of Experimental Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Project description:Background & Aims: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer, marked by dysregulated cellular processes and limited treatment options. N-acetylcysteine (NAC), widely used for acetaminophen overdose and as a mucolytic agent, has not been mechanistically characterized in HCC. We evaluated the effects of NAC in experimental HCC, including its role in modulating the Nrf2/Keap1 signaling pathway Methods: HCC was induced in male Fischer-344 rats using diethylnitrosamine (DEN) and 2-acetylaminofluorene (2-AAF), with daily NAC administration for 16 weeks. In parallel, HepG2 cells were used to evaluate the cytoprotective effects of NAC in vitro. Biochemical, molecular, transcriptomic, and histological analyses were performed. Results: NAC exerted hepatoprotective effects that limited protumorigenic progression, fibrosis, and tumor cell proliferation. Notably, NAC modulated the Nrf2/Keap1 pathway, enhancing antioxidant defenses and preserving biomolecular integrity. Conclusions: NAC modulates key cellular processes involved in HCC development, supporting its repositioning as a potential adjuvant therapeutic strategy.
