Abstract
Background: Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a master regulator of cytoprotective enzymes. Results: Nrf2 overexpression-mediated cytoprotective enzymes' augmentation blocked RANKL signaling via intracellular ROS attenuation and thereby blocked bone destruction. Conclusion: Nrf2-dependent cytoprotective enzyme expressions play a role in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis by controlling intracellular ROS. Significance: The Keap1/Nrf2 axis could be a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of bone destructive disease.
