Nrf2 regulates cell motility through RhoA–ROCK1 signalling in non-small-cell lung cancer cells

Abstract Nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcriptional regulator of several antioxidant and anti-inflammatory enzymes. It binds to its endogenous inhibitor Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) in the cytoplasm under normal conditions. Various endogenous or enviro...
