Nrf2 activation of the antioxidant response element (ARE) is central to cytoprotective gene expression against oxidative and/or electrophilic stress.{17702} Unless activated by inflammatory, environmental, or oxidative stressors, Nrf2 is sequestered in the cytoplasm by its repressor, Keap1.{16386} Because of its protective capabilities, small molecules that activate Nrf2 signaling are being examined as potential anti-cancer or anti-inflammatory agents.{20661} Sulforaphane is an isothiocyanate derived from cruciferous vegetables, including broccoli, that potently induces chemopreventative enzymes via Keap1-Nrf2 signaling and ARE-driven gene expression.{21473} At 15 μM, sulforaphane inhibits class I and II HDAC activity and suppresses tumor growth by inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis selectively in various cancerous prostate epithelial cells without affecting normal cells.{19710}
