Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Regulates Nuclear Translocation of NF-E2-Related Factor 2 through Actin Rearrangement in Response to Oxidative Stress

  • Published : 2002.10.01

Abstract

Expression of phase II detoxifying genes is regulated by NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)-mediated antioxidant response element (ARE) activation. Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) plays an essential role in ARE-mediated rGSTA2 induction by oxidative stress and controls microfilaments and translocation of actin-associated proteins. This study was designed to investigate the P13-kinase-mediated nuclear translocation of Nrf2 and the interaction of Nrf2 with actin. (omitted)
