Research Abstract

Environmental stress response system allows organisms to keep cellular homeostasis. In this study, weexamined Keap1-Nrf2-mediated oxidative and xenobiotic defense system, and identified novel molecular mechanisms for stress-sensing system and their association with diseases. We alsoidentified diverse and elaborate gene regulatory mechanisms in response to hypoxic stressthrough the comprehensive analysis of erythropoietin gene regulatory regions.
