Nrf2 is a crucial transcription factor that regulates over 2000 genes. Its activation and deactivation involve a complex network of control points, allowing flexibility in its gene expression profile. Understanding and targeting multiple control points in the Nrf2 pathway, compared to the traditional one-drug, one-target approach, may have advantages in modulating its activity.
Nrf2 is a major transcription factor that significantly regulates-directly or indirectly-more than 2000 genes. While many of these genes are involved in maintaining redox balance, others are involved in maintaining balance among metabolic pathways that are seemingly unrelated to oxidative stress. In the past 25 years, the number of factors involved in the activation, nuclear translocation, and deactivation of Nrf2 has continued to expand. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of the remarkable complexity of the tortuous sequence of stop-and-go signals that not only regulate expression or repression, but may also modify transcriptional intensity as well as the specificity of promoter recognition, allowing fluidity of its gene expression profile depending on the various structural modifications the transcription factor encounters on its journey to the DNA. At present, more than 45 control points have been identified, many of which represent sites of action of the so-called Nrf2 activators. The complexity of the pathway and the synergistic interplay among combinations of control points help to explain the potential advantages seen with phytochemical compositions that simultaneously target multiple control points, compared to the traditional pharmaceutical paradigm of one-drug, one-target.
