Abstract
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a recent pandemic caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) leading to pulmonary and extra-pulmonary manifestations due to the development of oxidative stress (OS) and hyperinflammation. The underlying cause for OS and hyperinflammation in COVID-19 may be related to the inhibition of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), a master regulator of antioxidative responses and cellular homeostasis. The Nrf2 pathway inhibits the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the development of cytokine storm and OS in COVID-19. Nrf2 activators can attenuate endothelial dysfunction (ED), renin-angiotensin system (RAS) dysregulation, immune thrombosis, and coagulopathy. Hence, this review aimed to reveal the potential role of the Nrf2 pathway and its activators in the management of COVID-19. As well, we tried to revise the mechanistic role of the Nrf2 pathway in COVID-19.
期刊介绍:
Cell Stress and Chaperones is an integrative journal that bridges the gap between laboratory model systems and natural populations. The journal captures the eclectic spirit of the cellular stress response field in a single, concentrated source of current information. Major emphasis is placed on the effects of climate change on individual species in the natural environment and their capacity to adapt. This emphasis expands our focus on stress biology and medicine by linking climate change effects to research on cellular stress responses of animals, micro-organisms and plants.
