1 Oral azathioprine leads to higher incorporation of 6-thioguanine in DNA of skin than liver: the protective role of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway. Azathioprine NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
2 Genetic upregulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway, a major cellular regulator of the expression of a network of cytoprotective genes, reduces the incorporation of 6-thioguanine in DNA of both skin and liver following treatment with azathioprine. Azathioprine NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
3 Our findings suggest that activation of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway could reduce the risk for skin cancer in patients receiving long-term azathioprine therapy. Azathioprine NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2 Homo sapiens
