Abstract

On mouse neuroblastoma (Neuro-2a) and human glioblastoma (U-87 MG) cell lines, we studied the effect of inducers and inhibitors of redox-sensitive signaling system of the antioxidant-responsive element Keap1/Nrf2/ARE on the main processes that determine nerve cell viability and vital activity (proliferative activity, apoptosis, autophagy, and activation of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE system). Inhibitors of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE system stimulate apoptosis more pronouncedly than inducers, have a weaker effect on autophagy, and do not change the nuclear to cytoplasmic Nrf2 ratio. In general, the revealed effects testify in favor of the potential effectiveness of stimulating the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE system for the prevention and adjuvant therapy of neurodegenerative diseases.
