This 2022 review subject was aspects of sulforaphane regulating stress:

“Sulforaphane (SFN) shows great versatility in turning on different cellular responses. This isothiocyanate acts as a master regulator of cellular homeostasis due to its antioxidant response and cytoplasmic, mitochondrial, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein modulation. SFN acts as an effective strategy to counteract oxidative stress, apoptosis, and ER stress, among others as seen in different injury models.

The ER is a complex membrane system, involved in several cellular processes including lipid synthesis and distribution, and Ca²⁺ storage and signaling. The ER is highly dynamic and changes according to cellular demand (e.g., hypoxia, mitochondrial dysfunction, or oxidative stress), leading to accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins in ER lumen, known as ER stress.

ER stress is buffered by unfolded protein response (UPR) activation, a homeostatic signaling network that orchestrates recovery of ER function by decreasing the burden of misfolded proteins. If stress signals continue it could lead to apoptosis activation.

Studies highlight a close interrelationship between ER stress and oxidative stress, two events driven by the accumulation of reactive oxygen species. Responses to stress inevitably perpetuate, and act as a vicious cycle that triggers development of different pathologies, such as cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and others.

The PERK/Nrf2 pathway communicates oxidative stress and ER stress:

SFN couples oxidative and ER stress to promote cellular redox homeostasis. Further studies in animal and human models are required to elucidate pathways and proteins involved in differential responses orchestrated by SFN, emphasizing that responses will depend on cell type and kind of pathology, as well as SFN concentration.”

Every hand’s a winner, and every hand’s a loser has more on UPR.
