Cataract is one of the most important causes of blindness worldwide, with age-related cataract being the most common one. Agents preventing cataract formation are urgently required. Substantial evidences point out aggravated oxidative stress as a vital factor for cataract formation. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)/Kelch-like erythroid-cell-derived protein with CNC homology (ECH)-associated protein 1 (Keap1) system is considered as one of the main cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stresses. This review discusses the role of Nrf2 pathway in the prevention of cataracts and highlights that Nrf2 suppressors may augment oxidative stress of the lens, and Nrf2 inducers may decrease the oxidative stress and prevent the cataract formation. Thus, Nrf2 may serve as a promising therapeutic target for cataract treatment.
白内障是全球范围内导致失明的主要原因之一,其中年龄相关性白内障最为常见。因此,我们迫切需要寻找能够预防白内障形成的药物。大量证据表明,氧化应激的加剧是白内障形成的一个重要因素。核因子(红细胞衍生 2)样 2(Nrf2)/Kelch 样红细胞衍生蛋白与 CNC 同源(ECH)相关蛋白 1(Keap1)系统被认为是对抗氧化应激的主要细胞防御机制之一。本综述讨论了 Nrf2 通路在白内障预防中的作用,并强调 Nrf2 抑制剂可能会增加晶状体的氧化应激,而 Nrf2 诱导剂则可能降低氧化应激并预防白内障的形成。因此,Nrf2 可能成为白内障治疗的有前途的治疗靶点。
