The Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway plays an important role in the cellular antioxidant defense. Nrf2/ a basic leucine zipper transcription factor/ induces the expression of antioxidant and phase II enzymes by binding to the ARE (antioxidant response element) region of the gene promoter. Under basal conditions/ Nrf2 is retained in the cytosol by binding to the cytoskeletal protein Keap1. Upon exposure to oxidative stress or other ARE activators/ Nrf2 is released from Keap1 and translocates to the nucleus/ where it can bind to the ARE/ leading to the expression of antioxidant and phase II enzymes that protect the cell from oxidative damage.
The ARE Luciferase Reporter Lentivirus are replication incompetent/ HIV-based/ VSV-G pseudotyped lentiviral particles that are ready to be transduced into almost all types of mammalian cells/ including primary and non-dividing cells. The particles contain a firefly luciferase gene driven by ARE located upstream of the minimal TATA promoter. After transduction/ activation of the Nrf2 antioxidant response pathway in the target cells can be monitored by measuring the luciferase activity.
