The hormetic dose-response mechanism: Nrf2 activation

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
A generalized mechanism for hormetic dose responses is proposed that is based on the redox-activated transcription factor (TF), Nrf2, and its upregulation of an integrative system of endogenous anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory adaptive responses as discussed by the authors.

Defining roles of specific reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cell biology and physiology

TL;DR: This Expert Recommendation article pinpoints key issues associated with identifying the physiological roles of oxidants, focusing on H2O2 and O2, and stresses that physiological O2 levels should be maintained in cell culture to better mimic in vivo redox reactions associated with specific cell types.

Pesticide-Induced Hormesis in Arthropods: Towards Biological Systems

TL;DR: In this paper , a mini-review emphasizes how hormesis may affect species interactions and the broader consequences at the community level to provide further understanding of its eco-evolutionary relevance beyond its short-term practical implications for agriculture production.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ferulic acid and hormesis: Biomedical and environmental implications.

TL;DR: In this article, the capacity of ferulic acid to induce hormetic dose responses in biological systems was evaluated. But the authors focused on neuroprotective effects, with particular focus on neuro-protective effect.

Nrf2: friend or foe for chemoprevention?

TL;DR: This review provides a synopsis of KEAP1-NRF2 signaling, compares the impact of genetic versus pharmacologic activation and considers both the attributes and concerns of targeting the pathway in chemoprevention.

The Reactive Oxygen Species in Macrophage Polarization: Reflecting Its Dual Role in Progression and Treatment of Human Diseases

TL;DR: The biology of macrophage polarization and the disturbance of M1/M2 balance in human diseases are reviewed and the potential therapeutic opportunities targeting ROS will be discussed, hoping to provide insights for development of target-specific delivery system or immunomodulatory antioxidant for the treatment of ROS-related diseases.
Journal Article

Defining hormesis. Commentary. Authors reply

TL;DR: Hormesis should be considered an adaptive response characterized by biphasic dose responses of generally similar quantitative features with respect to amplitude and range of the stimulatory response that are either directly induced or the result of compensatory biological processes following an initial disruption in homeostasis.

"Lest we forget you--methylene blue...".

TL;DR: The history and medical applications of methylene blue are reviewed, with emphasis on recent developments, as a potential treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.

Nrf2‐deficient mice are highly susceptible to cigarette smoke‐induced emphysema

TL;DR: Results indicate that Nrf2 protects against the development of emphysema by regulating not only the oxidant/anti‐oxidant balance, but also inflammation and the protease/anti-protease balance.
