Abstract excerpt
The basic leucine zipper transcription factor nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NRF2) plays a critical role in the cellular antioxidant response under oxidative stress conditions. In this study, we investigated the role of NRF2 in fetal hemoglobin expression and the pathophysiology of sickle cell disease (SCD) in a NRF2 knockout (SCD/NRF2-/-) transgenic mouse model. NRF2 loss impaired survival of SCD...
