Summary: The nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) plays a role in protecting cells against oxidative damage and is linked to the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and CKD-related morbidity. The activity of the Nrf2 system is influenced by factors such as inflammation, kidney fibrosis, mitochondrial and metabolic effects, and the accumulation of uremic toxins and inflammation. The activation or repression of Nrf2 varies depending on the stage and cause of kidney disease.

Summary: C3G extracted from Aronia melanocarpa inhibits fibroblast differentiation and reduces silica particle-induced pulmonary fibrosis through antioxidant effects. It also regulates the balance of oxidation and antioxidant in the lungs, downregulates fibroblast markers, and decreases the secretion of pro-fibrotic factors.

Summary: This study investigates the interaction between Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) infection. The findings show that Nrf2 is activated in the early stage of HSV-1 infection, leading to the inhibition of virus replication through the regulation of antioxidant enzymes heme oxygenase-1 and NAD(P)H quinone oxidoreductase 1. The involvement of HO-1 in the regulation of interferon response plays an important role in anti-HSV-1 effects.

Summary: Fibrotic diseases remain a serious public health concern, where myofibroblasts play a key role as principal cellular mediators. Profibrotic activation of myofibroblasts can be triggered by various mechanisms and can be reversed by specific antifibrotic treatments. Sirtuins have been shown to modulate the molecular pathways responsible for the onset and development of fibrotic diseases.

Summary: Early detection of CKD is crucial. CKD from different causes share similar histological patterns. Tissue ischemia promotes HIF activation and NAD depletion, while NAD metabolic pathways and gap junctions regulate NAD biosynthesis and cellular retention. Dysregulated NAD metabolism leads to various complications, and nanoparticles can be used for CKD diagnosis and treatment.

Summary: The study suggests that genetic polymorphisms of antioxidant enzymes GPX1, SOD2, and regulatory protein Nrf2 may increase the risk of prostate cancer development. Carriers of SOD2*C allele have an increased risk, which is further amplified when combined with Nrf2*C/C genotype. The study highlights the importance of acquired contributory factors in the risk of prostate cancer.

Summary: With the advancement of transcriptomic technologies, NASA GeneLab and associated working groups have developed a consensus pipeline for analyzing short-read RNA-sequencing data from spaceflight experiments, which is now publicly available. This aims to promote transparency, reproducibility, and reusability of data, provide a template for future data processing, and encourage cross-analysis of data from different databases.

Summary: The space environment exposes individuals to a mixture of ionizing radiation and altered gravity, which can impact human cells' genetics and epigenetics, potentially leading to radiation carcinogenesis risk. Researchers are working to collect data under real and simulated space conditions to accurately estimate the risk of space exposure.

Summary: Bone metastatic prostate cancer (BM-PCa) is difficult to treat due to complex interactions between cancer and stromal cells. Neutrophils in the bone marrow have been found to elicit an anti-tumor immune response against BM-PCa. This study explores the importance of neutrophil oxidative burst in BM-PCa and suggests that targeting ROS and glutathione programming could be effective in inhibiting BM-PCa progression.

Summary: NRF2 is a master transcription factor that regulates the expression of detoxifying and antioxidant genes. It plays a role in redox regulation, metabolism, inflammation/autoimmune disease, cancer, and radioresistance. Activation of NRF2 pathways by ionizing radiation is delayed and may be critical for immune transition and cellular survival.

Summary: This study identifies a transcriptional up-regulation pattern of lncRNAs in SARS-CoV-2 infection and explores their interaction with RNA-binding proteins. A lncRNA signature composed of six elements is associated with the regulation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. The findings suggest a competition mechanism between viral RNA genome and regulatory lncRNAs in modulating the interferon response and RNA surveillance.
