Adenylosuccinic acid (ASA) modifies Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) progression in dystrophic mice and human DMD patients. Despite an established role for ASA in augmenting metabolism and cellular energy homeostasis, our previous data suggests an undiscovered ulterior mode of action capable of modifying DMD disease course. Here, we identify ASA as a novel inducer of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2), master regulator of the antioxidant and cytoprotective response to cell stress.
腺嘌呤基琥珀酸(ASA)可改善肌营养不良症(DMD)的进展。尽管 ASA 在增强代谢和细胞能量平衡方面具有既定作用,但我们之前的数据表明,它具有一种尚未发现的潜在作用机制,能够改变 DMD 的疾病进程。在这里,我们发现 ASA 是核因子红细胞 2 相关因子 2(Nrf2)的新型诱导剂,Nrf2 是细胞应激的抗氧化和细胞保护反应的主要调节剂。
