The Nrf2 (nuclear factor E2-related factor or nuclear factor (erythroid-derived
2)-like 2) transcription factor is a key player in cytoprotection and activated
in stress conditions caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) or electrophiles.
Inflammasomes represent central regulators of inflammation. Upon detection of
various stress factors, assembly of the inflamasome protein complex results in
activation and secretion of proinflammatory cytokines. In addition, inflammasome
activation causes pyroptosis, a lytic form of cell death, which supports
inflammation. There is growing evidence of a crosstalk between the Nrf2 and
inflammasome pathways at different levels. For example, Nrf2 activating compounds
inhibit inflammasomes and consequently inflammation. This review summarizes what
is known about the complex and predominantly antagonistic relationship of both
stress-activated pathways.
