Activate Nrf2 to improve arthritis

This 2023 rodent study cited Eat broccoli sprouts for arthritis to test a Nrf2 activator’s effects on rheumatoid arthritis:

“We show that activation of Nrf2 efficiently improves arthritis of SKG mice, which develop T cell-mediated autoimmune arthritis by zymosan A injection. Oral administration of CDDO-Im, a representative chemical inducer of Nrf2, had effects of both prevention and treatment toward arthritis of SKG mice in an Nrf2-dependent manner.

We also found that Nrf2 activation through myeloid-cell lineage-specific Keap1 disruption did not achieve significant improvement in arthritis of SKG mice. Systemic Nrf2 activation or Nrf2 activation in other lineage cells including T cells, B cells and fibroblast-like synoviocytes linage cells is important for improvement of rheumatoid arthritis.

We propose that Nrf2 activation is an efficient therapeutic approach for rheumatoid arthritis.”
