Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), also known as nuclear factor erythroid-derived 2-like 2, is a transcription factor that in humans is encoded by the NFE2L2 gene and is regarded as a central regulator of the antioxidative response.

Although the precise mechanisms of Nrf2 activation on the immune system in SLE remain to be elucidated, Nrf2-activating compounds are considered novel therapeutical options to suppress OS and thereby might alleviate disease activity in SLE, especially in LN.

PON1 has been extensively studied in relation to Alzheimer's Disease (AD), but the role of PON3 remains unknown. To fill this knowledge gap, the study analyzed PON3 protein levels and PON1-arylesterase activity in 99 AD patients, 100 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and 79 cognitively normal controls.

The Zhikong scallop (<i>Chlamys farreri</i>), an important economical mollusk in China, faces increasing risks of summer mortality due to the prolonged heat waves. The heart, responsible for transporting gas and nutrients, is vital in maintaining homeostasis and physiological status in response to environmental changes. In this study, the effect of heat stress on the cardiac function of <i>C. farreri</i> was investigated during the continuous 30-day heat stress at 27 °C. The results showed the heart rate of scallops increased due to stress in the initial phase of high temperature exposure, peaking at 12 h, and then gradually recovered, indicating an acclimatization at the end of the experiment. In addition, the levels of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) exhibited an initial increase followed by recovery in response to heat stress. Furthermore, transcriptome analysis of the heart identified 3541 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in response to heat stress. Subsequent GO and KEGG enrichment analysis showed that these genes were primarily related to signal transduction and oxidative stress, such as the phosphatidylinositol signaling system, regulation of actin cytoskeleton, MAPK signaling pathway, FoxO signaling pathway, etc. In addition, two modules were identified as significant responsive modules according to the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA). The upregulation of key enzymes within the base excision repair and gap junction pathways indicated that the heart of <i>C. farreri</i> under heat stress enhanced DNA repair and maintained cellular integrity. In addition, the variable expression of essential signaling molecules and cytoskeletal regulators suggested that the heart of <i>C. farreri</i> modulated cardiomyocyte contraction, intracellular signaling, and heart rate through complex regulation of phosphorylation and calcium dynamics in response to heat stress.
