The response to oxidative stress is controlled by the transcription factor NRF2, which is the central regulator of antioxidant gene expression. If wood smoke particle (WSP) exposure induces reactive oxygen species (ROS) in epithelial cells, then NRF2 may protect against pathological conditions resulting from increased oxidative stress through changes in gene expression. We used two lung epithelial cell lines to test this hypothesis <em>in vitro</em>: A549, which harbor a mutation resulting in constitutive activation of NRF2, and BEAS-2B, which show limited NRF2 activity under basal conditions, but high inducibility during oxidative stress. In BEAS-2B cells, WSP exposure leads to increased cellular ROS, activation of NRF2, and upregulation of the NRF2 target genes <em>NQO1, GCLM,</em> and <em>SRXN1</em>. WSP exposure also increased ROS in A549 cells, although NRF2 activation and antioxidant gene upregulation were less robust as both were basally high in this cell line. Overall, the degree of ROS induction by WSP across cell lines is dependent upon NRF2 activity, and a similar pattern was observed for WSP cytotoxicity. WSP also sensitized both cell lines to the ferroptosis inducer erastin in a manner that is correlated with NRF2 activity. Knockout of <em>NRF2</em> in A549 resulted in higher WSP-induced ROS generation, cytotoxicity, and erastin sensitivity. Taken together, these results suggest that NRF2 serves as a protective factor against wood smoke induced ROS and oxidative stress in lung epithelial cells.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72106,"journal":{"name":"Advances in redox research : an official journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine and the Society for Free Radical Research-Europe","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100115"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142427235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores their pivotal roles in therapy and drug development, focusing on their interactions with crucial Signaling pathways and biological processes. Phytochemicals such as curcumin from turmeric, resveratrol from grapes, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) from green tea, exert their effects primarily by modulating key pathways like PI3K/AKT, MAPK-ERK, Wnt, and Hedgehog, which are integral to cellular functions and disease progression. Phytochemicals like curcumin demonstrate potent anticancer activities by inhibiting proteins involved in cell proliferation, inducing apoptosis, and suppressing angiogenesis. Phytochemicals such as resveratrol also exhibit anti-inflammatory properties by targeting cytokine production and oxidative stress pathways, thereby alleviating chronic inflammatory conditions implicated in various diseases. Their (eg. EGCG's) antioxidant capabilities help neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative damage, contributing to cellular health and longevity. Moreover, phytochemicals play a pivotal role in metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity by regulating glucose metabolism, lipid profiles, and insulin sensitivity. They also show promise in neurodegenerative diseases by protecting neuronal cells, enhancing cognitive functions, and potentially mitigating neuroinflammation and oxidative stress. For instance, berberine, an alkaloid found in several plants, shows promise in regulating glucose levels and improving insulin sensitivity. Additionally, ginsenosides from ginseng are known to protect neuronal cells, enhance cognitive functions, and potentially mitigate neuroinflammation and oxidative stress in neurodegenerative diseases. Despite their promising therapeutic benefits, challenges remain, particularly in ensuring bioavailability and standardization of phytochemical extracts for clinical use. Advances in screening techniques and formulation strategies aim to enhance their efficacy and integration into modern therapeutic approaches. Their multifaceted roles in modulating cellular processes underscore their importance as potential alternatives or complements to traditional pharmacotherapies, driving innovation in drug development and personalized medicine.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72106,"journal":{"name":"Advances in redox research : an official journal of the Society for Redox Biology and Medicine and the Society for Free Radical Research-Europe","volume":"13 ","pages":"Article 100113"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2667137924000201/pdfft?md5=73e609cfc573df68e79c3b632927c8d7&pid=1-s2.0-S2667137924000201-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142149240","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
