Nuclear erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is an oxidative stress-mediated transcription factor with a variety of downstream targets aimed at cytoprotection. Nrf2 has recently been implicated as a new therapeutic target for the treatment of liver disease. Here, we focus on the most common liver diseases-nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/steatohepatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and drug-induced liver injury-and highlight areas in the development of these conditions where activation of Nrf2 may alleviate disease progression.
核红细胞 2 相关因子 2(Nrf2)是一种氧化应激介导的转录因子,具有多种下游靶标,旨在实现细胞保护。Nrf2 最近被认为是治疗肝脏疾病的新的治疗靶点。在这里,我们重点关注最常见的肝脏疾病——非酒精性脂肪性肝病/肝炎、酒精性肝病和药物性肝损伤,并强调在这些疾病的发展过程中,激活 Nrf2 可能会缓解疾病进展的领域。
