Table 2.
Microarray expression studies on identifying Nrf2 (or NRF2)-regulated genes. The results of 4 microarray expression experiments were used to infer a set of NRF2-regulated genes in human by searching the HomoloGene database.
| Tissue | Genotype of transcription factor | Treatment | Up-regulated genes | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| mouse (lung) | Nrf2++ vs. Nrf2−− | hyperoxia (oxidative stress) | 65 (Basal) 175 (Inducible) | Cho et al. 2005 (25) |
| mouse (intestine) | Nrf2++ vs. Nrf2−− | sulforaphane (activating Nrf2 pathway) | 43 (Basal) 31 (Inducible) | Thimmulappa et al. 2002 (39) |
| mouse (primary cortical astrocytes) | Nrf2++ vs. Nrf2−− | tert-butylhydroquinone (activating Nrf2 pathway) | 73 (Basal) 75 (Inducible) | Lee et al. 2003 (40) |
| human (neuroblastoma) | NRF2++ | tert-butylhydroquinone (activating NRF2 pathway) | 63 (Inducible) | Li et al. 2002 (32) |
