Abstract:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease, mainly due to the activation of the T cells, which makes oxidative stress reaction in brain and leads to demyelination finally. Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1)-nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor-2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant responsive element (ARE) signal pathway is one of the most important endogenous antioxidant pathways, which promotes the expression of detoxification enzymes and antioxidant protein to eliminate oxygen free radicals and balance intracellular redox system. Activation of the Keap1-Nrf2/ARE may delay the progression of MS by drugs or rehabilitation.

Key words: multiple sclerosis, oxidative stress, Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1, nuclear factor E2-related factor-2, antioxidant responsive element, signal pathway, review
