Randomized trial explores NRF2's role in inflammation severity during acute pancreatitis, suggesting new therapeutic strategies.

This research aims to understand the role of NRF2 in the inflammatory response and severity of acute pancreatitis.
Evaluated NRF2 function in mouse and cellular models of acute pancreatitis.
Performed pancreas-specific genetic ablation of NRF2 and measured gene expression changes via RNA-seq.
Used pharmacologic NRF2 activation with sulforaphane to assess its impact on oxidative stress and inflammation.
Pancreas-specific NRF2 ablation worsened inflammation and oxidative stress in acute pancreatitis models.
Pharmacologic activation of NRF2 with sulforaphane reduced oxidative stress and inflammation significantly.
NRF2 activation ameliorated recurrent episodes of acute pancreatitis.

Mareninova et al. (2026) studied this question.
