The antioxidant responsive element (ARE) mediates transcriptional regulation of phase II
detoxification enzymes and antioxidant proteins such as NAD (P) H: quinone
oxidoreductase (NQO1), glutathione S-transferases, and glutamate-cysteine ligase. In this
study, we demonstrate that NF-E2-related factor-2 (Nrf2) plays a major role in transcriptional
activation of ARE-driven genes and identify Nrf2-dependent genes by oligonucleotide
microarray analysis using primary cortical astrocytes from Nrf2+/+ and Nrf2−/− mice. Nrf2 …
