Article Abstract
The transcription factor nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and its negative regulator kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1) regulate various genes involved in redox homeostasis, which protects cells from stress conditions such as reactive oxygen species and therefore exerts beneficial effects on suppression of carcinogenesis. In addition to their pivotal role in cellular physiology, accumulating innovative studies indicated that NRF2/KEAP1-governed pathways may conversely be oncogenic and cause therapy resistance, which was profoundly modulated by epigenetic mechanism. Therefore, targeting epigenetic regulation in NRF2/KEAP1 signaling is a potential strategy for cancer treatment. In this paper, the current knowledge on the role of NRF2/KEAP1 signaling in cancer oxidative stress is presented, with a focus on how epigenetic modifications might influence cancer initiation and progression. Furthermore, the prospect that epigenetic changes may be used as therapeutic targets for tumor treatment is also investigated.

The NRF2/KEAP1 signaling pathway regulates the gene expression of numerous cytoprotective and detoxifying enzymes and is therefore essential for maintaining cellular redox homeostasis. Despite the increasing knowledge of NRF2 signaling complexity, dimethyl fumarate remains the sole NRF2-targeting therapy in clinical practice, used for multiple sclerosis. Ongoing research exploring the role of NRF2 in cancer, neurodegeneration, diabetes, and cardiovascular, renal, and liver diseases holds significant promise for future therapeutic innovation.

Ferroptosis, a controlled cell death influenced by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation, presents potential therapeutic targets for cancer treatment due to its unique molecular pathways and potential drug resistance. Natural compounds, such as polyphenols, flavonoids, terpenoids and alkaloids, can influence ferroptosis via important signalling pathways, such as Nrf2/Keap1, p53, and GPX4. These are promising for combinational therapy due to their ability to cause ferroptotic death in cancer cells, exhibit tumour-specific selectivity and reduce systemic toxicity.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: Fever is a prevalent clinical symptom and is usually caused by inflammation or infection. Persistent high fever can lead to delirium, coma and convulsions, causing brain damage. Angong Niuhuang Pill (ANP), a traditional Chinese emergency medicine, has been employed in clinical practice for centuries, with well-documented antipyretic effects.

Background: Lead (Pb) exposure is recognized for its contribution to the development of neurodegenerative diseases. However, the precise mechanisms underlying Pb-induced neurological dysfunction remain elusive. This study aimed to investigate the role of oxidative stress and the autophagy-related P62/kelch like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) pathway in neuronal impairment caused by Pb.
