However, the therapeutic index of doxorubicin is undermined by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, which may be a function of futile redox cycling
That adds up to hours of free time every week
Since mitochondria are essential to our very existence, it is unsurprising that the effects of mitochondrial diseases can be severe, and sometimes lethal, spanning a wide-ranging spectrum of physiological and biochemical symptoms [1,3,4] (see Table 1 for examples)
Under oxidative stress and induced by excessive ROS generation, Nrf2 is released from its inhibitor Keap1, allowing its translocation into the nucleus (Kasprzak et al., 2020), where it binds to the antioxidant response element (ARE) present in the DNA sequence of numerous antioxidant enzymes like glutathione-S-transferase, -glutamyl cysteine synthetase (glutamate cysteine ligase), heme oxygenase 1, and paraoxonase-1 inducing their transcription, managing the phase II response to oxidative stress (Kasprzak et al., 2020)
In order to assess activation, B6 FoB and MZB where stimulated with anti-IgM, CD40 ligand and IL-4 or LPS for 4 days and treated with BSO
