01
Overview
Antioxidant gene expression refers to the transcriptional and translational regulation of genes encoding antioxidant enzymes and proteins that protect cells from oxidative damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other free radicals. Key genes include superoxide dismutases (SOD1, SOD2, SOD3), glutathione peroxidases (GPX1, GPX3), catalase (CAT), and peroxiredoxins (PRDX2). Regulation is primarily at the transcriptional level, often involving the Antioxidant Response Element (ARE) and Nrf2 transcription factor. Altered expression is implicated in various diseases, including cancer and oxidative stress-related conditions. Modulating antioxidant gene expression holds therapeutic potential, but safety concerns regarding cancer promotion must be considered.
