Model organisms for investigating the functional involvement of NRF2 in non-com...
Rojo, Ana I.; Buttari, Brigitta; Cadenas, Susana; Carlos, Ana Rita; Cuadrado, Antonio; Falcão, Ana Sofia; López, Manuela G.; Georgiev, Milen I.Non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) are most commonly characterized by age-related loss of homeostasis and/or by cumulative exposures to environmental factors, which lead to low-grade sustained generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), chronic inflammation and metabolic imbalance. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-like 2 (NRF2) is a basic leucine-zipper transcription factor that regulates the cellular redox ho...
Biomarkers of NRF2 signalling: Current status and future challenges
Morgenstern, Christina; Lastres-Becker, Isabel; Demirdöğen, Birsen Can; Costa, Vera Marisa; Daiber, Andreas; Foresti, Roberta; Motterlini, RobertoThe cytoprotective transcription factor NRF2 regulates the expression of several hundred genes in mammalian cells and is a promising therapeutic target in a number of diseases associated with oxidative stress and inflammation. Hence, an ability to monitor basal and inducible NRF2 signalling is vital for mechanistic understanding in translational studies. Due to some caveats related to the direct measurement of ...

European contribution to the study of ROS: A summary of the findings and prospe...
Egea, Javier; Fabregat, Isabel; Frapart, Yves M; Ghezzi, Pietro; Görlach, Agnes; Kietzmann, Thomas; Kubaichuk, Kateryna; Knaus, Ulla G.The European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) provides an ideal framework to establish multi-disciplinary research networks. COST Action BM1203 (EU-ROS) represents a consortium of researchers from different disciplines who are dedicated to providing new insights and tools for better understanding redox biology and medicine and, in the long run, to finding new therapeutic strategies to target dysregu...
Transcription factor NRF2 controls the fate of neural stem cells in the subgran...
Robledinos-Antón, Natalia; Rojo, Ana I; Ferreiro, Elisabete; Núñez, Ángel; Krause, Karl-Heinz; Jaquet, Vincent; Cuadrado, AntonioNeural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) located at the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the hippocampus participate in the maintenance of synaptic networks that ensure cognitive functions during life. Although it is known that this neurogenic niche losses activity with oxidative stress and ageing, the molecular events involved in its regulation are largely unknown. Here, we studied the role of transcription factor Nuclea...
