The NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcriptional regulator of antioxidant defense and detoxification. To directly monitor stabilization of Nrf2 we fused its Neh2 domain, responsible for the interaction with its nucleocytoplasmic regulator, Keap1, to firefly luciferase (Neh2-luciferase). It is shown herein that Neh2 domain is sufficient for recognition, ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of Neh2-luciferase fusion protein. The novel Neh2-luc reporter system allows direct monitoring of the adaptive response to redox stress and classification of drugs based on the time-course of reporter activation. The novel reporter was used to screen a library of compounds to identify activators of Nrf2. The most robust and yet non toxic Nrf2 activators found—nordihydroguaiaretic acid, fisetin, and gedunin-induced astrocyte-dependent neuroprotection from oxidative stress via an Nrf2-dependent mechanism.

Compositions and methods for using nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) derivatives for preventing the expression of MDR-1 gene and the synthesis of PgP protein or reversing multiple drug resistance in cells, and for using NDGA derivatives in combination with additional chemotherapeutic agents to treat drug resistant cancer and infections.

The invention relates to a method for preparing a cellularized biological valve material, which is characterized by comprising the following steps: performing cell removal treatment for a heart valve of a pig aorta, then using nordihydroguaiaretic acid solution to cross link, and performing post treatment after the cross linking. The concentration of the used cross linking agent is 0.1 to 10 mg/ml. The cross linking conditions comprise that the shake cross linking is carried out for 2 to 240 hours at 60 to 360rpm at the temperature of between 1 and 40 DEG C, then the heart valve is taken out and soaked into D-Hanks solution, and the heart valve is post-treated for 3 to 40 days at the temperature of between 1 and 6 DEG C so as to obtain the cellularized biological valve material. By adjusting the concentrations of the cross linking agent the nordihydroguaiaretic acid solution, the cross linking time, the cleaning time and the like, the adjustment and control in the aspects of cross linking mechanical strength, enzymolysis resistance, cross linking agent release, tissue regeneration capacity promotion and the like are realized.
