Abstract excerpt
NRF2 activates several protective genes, such as sulfiredoxin (SRXN1), as a response to oxidative and xenobiotic stress. Defects in NRF2 pathway may increase cancer susceptibility. In tumor cells, activation of NRF2 may lead to chemo- and radioresistance and thus affect patient outcome. Nine sing...
