Indeed, the levels of NADPH and the NADPH/NADP+ ratio are lower in embryonic fibroblasts isolated from Nrf2-knockout (Nrf2-KO) mice compared to cells from their wild-type (WT) counterparts, and the NADPH levels decrease upon Nrf2 knockdown in cancer cell lines with constitutively active Nrf2 [26]. The gene discussed is NFE2L2; the disease is cancer.
