Abstract
Small molecule ionophore, HPPE, is depicted as a magnet, acting to liberate cellular stores of Zn2+ and Cu2+. Increased levels of labile metal pools result in nonlethal of oxidative stress in cells, sensed by NRF2 repressor protein and oxidative stress sensor, KEAP1. Consequently, NRF2 is stabilized, resulting in the transcriptional activation of cytoprotective genes, illustrated as a shield with a medical cross. More details can be found in the article 10.1002/cbic.202400529 by Rebecca Freeman and Michael J. Bollong.
