Nrf2 enhances resistance of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic drugs, the dark side of Nrf2
Xiao Jun Wang,Zheng Sun,Nicole Villeneuve,Shirley L. Zhang,Fei Zhao,Yanjie Li,Weimin Chen,Xiaofang Yi,Wenxin Zheng,Georg T. Wondrak,Pak Kin Wong,Donna D. Zhang +11 more
TL;DR: It is reported that inhibition of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) may be a promising strategy to combat chemoresistance, and evidence is provided that the strategy of using Nrf2 inhibitors to increase efficacy of chemotherapeutic agents is not limited to certain cancer types or anticancer drugs and thus can be applied during the course of chemotherapy to treat many cancer types.
Journal ArticleDOI
Therapeutic Potential of Nrf2 Activators in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Nephropathy
Hongting Zheng,Hongting Zheng,Samantha A. Whitman,Wei Wu,Wei Wu,Georg T. Wondrak,Pak Kin Wong,Deyu Fang,Donna D. Zhang +8 more
TL;DR: Experimental evidence is provided indicating that dietary compounds targeting Nrf2 activation can be used therapeutically to improve metabolic disorder and relieve renal damage induced by diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Redox-Directed Cancer Therapeutics: Molecular Mechanisms and Opportunities
TL;DR: An update on drug discovery, target identification, and mechanisms of action of experimental redox chemotherapeutics with a focus on pro- and antioxidant redox modulators now in advanced phases of preclinal and clinical development is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Endogenous UVA-photosensitizers: mediators of skin photodamage and novel targets for skin photoprotection
TL;DR: Sensitized skin cell photodamage by this bystander mechanism occurs after photoexcitation of sensitizers contained in skin structural proteins without direct cellular photon absorption thereby enhancing the potency and range of phototoxic UVA action in deeper layers of skin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The cinnamon-derived Michael acceptor cinnamic aldehyde impairs melanoma cell proliferation, invasiveness, and tumor growth
Christopher M. Cabello,Warner B. Bair,Sarah D. Lamore,Stephanie Ley,Alexandra S. Bause,Sara Azimian,Georg T. Wondrak +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the cinnamon-derived dietary Michael acceptor trans-cinnamic aldehyde (CA) impairs melanoma cell proliferation and tumor growth and supports a previously unrecognized role of CA as a dietary Michael acceptanceor with potential anti-cancer activity.
