Heme-signaling progresses via NRF2 to educate heme-TAM transformation, tumor cell growth, and invasiveness
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Heme-activation of NRF2 is a strong anti-inflammatory signal in macrophages, and analyses in this study indicated that the expressed transcriptome in heme-TAMs was consistently enriched for NRF2 target genes. We have therefore delineated the role of NRF2 in a series of experiments with Nrf2 knockout BMDMs, leading to a locked NRF2-inactive state, and macrophages with a knockout of the cytoplasmic NRF2 capture protein KEAP1, leading to a locked NRF2-active state, irrespective of the presence or absence of heme. To demonstrate that activated NRF2 is sufficient to drive heme-TAM transformation, we analyzed Keap1 knockout macrophages.
