Summary: This study found that TRIM13 gene is downregulated in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and demonstrated that TRIM13 acts as a tumor suppressor in LUAD cells by triggering autophagy through regulating the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway. These findings provide a new perspective for targeted therapy in LUAD.

Summary: The balance between oxidation and antioxidant is crucial for maintaining homeostasis, and disrupting this balance can lead to various pathological outcomes and diseases, including depression. This article focuses on the key role of the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) in depression and its regulatory mechanisms in oxidative stress and related pathological processes. The activation of Nrf2 has potential for the treatment of depression by regulating antioxidant genes and combating corresponding alterations.

Summary: Cd exposure induces kidney cell injury by inhibiting autophagic flux leading to p62 accumulation and Nrf2 nucleus translocation. Nrf2 nucleus translocation inhibits AMPK phosphorylation, activates the AKT/mTOR signaling, and ultimately results in rPT cell injury.

Summary: The beta-cell identity gene Pdx1 plays critical roles in beta-cell function, and oxidative stress can inhibit Pdx1 expression and function. The Nrf2 antioxidant pathway may preserve Pdx1 levels and potentially alleviate diabetes.

Summary: Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy, with accumulation of trophoblastic reactive oxygen species and placental dysfunction as potential pathogenic bases. Astragaloside IV (AS IV), a major active component of Astragalus membranaceus, protects trophoblasts from oxidative stress-induced damage by activating the Nrf2-Keap1-p62 feedback loop.

Summary: Using a Drosophila model, researchers show that disrupting ubiquitinated protein autophagy and forming polyubiquitinated aggregates has little effect on overall autophagy, proteasome activity, and fly healthspan. However, they find that the accumulation of ref(2)P/SQSTM1 activates the antioxidant pathway, resulting in increased tolerance to oxidative stress in mutant flies.

Summary: Nrf2 is an important intracellular regulator of antioxidant stress, regulating not only antioxidant function but also insulin secretion, proliferation, and differentiation of beta cells, ER stress, and mitochondrial function. Pharmacological activation of Nrf2 has been shown to protect islet cells during different stages of transplantation in experiments.

Summary: Fluoride is widely present in our living environment due to its abundance in the Earth's crust and industrial application, but excessive exposure to fluoride can be toxic to different organs. In this study, the role of NRF2, a key transcription factor in oxidative stress, in fluoride-induced hepatotoxicity was investigated. The results showed that fluoride exposure activated NRF2 and its target genes, and the upregulation of NRF2 in hepatocytes can be considered as a cellular self-defense mechanism against fluoride toxicity.

Summary: Dihydrotanshinone I (DHT), a bioactive compound in Salvia miltiorrhiza, exhibits anti-ovarian tumor effect by activating oxidative stress through ubiquitination-mediated Nrf2 degradation, resulting in reduced cell viability, induction of apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Additionally, DHT inhibits tumor growth by inhibiting the Nrf2 pathway and enhancing Nrf2 ubiquitination degradation.
