The Sesn2/Nrf2 axis suppresses oxidative stress and pyroptosis-associated signaling in LPS/nigericin-challenged alveolar macrophages.
BACKGROUND Pyroptosis is a key mechanism driving immune imbalance in sepsis, while the stress-induced protein Sestrin 2 (Sesn2) and Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) are core regulators of antioxidant defense. No existing studies have clarified the interactive regulatory effect of the Sesn2/Nrf2 axis on pyropto...
