Adaptive response to anabolic cell stress. Molecular signals of cell stress include radical oxygen species and other electrophiles, misfolded proteins and decreased ATP/AMP and ATP/ADP ratios because of enhanced ATP consumption. These signals initiate an adaptive response to increase cellular resistance and restore proper physiological functions, including activation and nuclear transfer of Nrf2, an unfolded protein response and stimulation of AMP-activated protein kinases. ROS, radical oxygen species; UPR, unfolded protein response; AMPK, AMP-activated protein kinases, inflamm., inflammatory.
