Nrf2-NF-κB pathway axes, epigenetic regulation and traditional Chinese medicine (natural medicine) to treat type 2 diabetes / 中国中药杂志

ABSTRACT

Diabetes mellitus is a characterized by high blood sugar metabolic disease, is a lifelong disease with a high incidence of major hazards. Prevention and treatment of diabetes and its complications has become a serious challenge and arduous task facing the world pharmaceutical researchers. Oxidative stress, Nfr2-NF-κB signaling axis related epigenomic genes have the apparent close relationship with type 2 diabetes,those have become one of the key focus and effective way to explore its pathogenesis, mechanism and drug screening. This paper systematically summarizes the current stage research regulating the key proteins, mRNA about Nrf2-NF-κB axis pathway and epigenomics for treatment of type 2 diabetes and the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine and natural medicine (component) in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, hoping to provide some innovative research ideas for finding new drugs of the treatment of diabetes from traditional Chinese medicine and natural medicine.
