The networks of ferroptosis-related proteins targeted by nuclear factor E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2/NFE2L2) (Protein interaction network from STRING database: https://string-db.org/cgi/input.pl and edited by cytospace3.7.1 software). Nrf2 can regulate ferroptosis directly through GPX4 synthesis-related enzyme [glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), glutathione (GSH) reductase (GSR), GSH peroxidase 4 (GPX4), glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM), 12-channel transmembrane protein transporter vector family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11), glutamate-cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC), thioredoxin reductase 1 (TXNRD1)] or through the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) pathway. Nrf2 can indirectly regulate intracellular iron concentration via Nrf2-heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1)-iron regulatory-related protein axis [biliverdin reductase A/B (BLVRA/B), ferritin heavy chain 1 (FTH1), transferrin receptor 1 (TFRC), recombinant ferrochelatase (FECH), ferroportin (FPN1/SLC40A11)] to regulate ferroptosis.
