To further understand the role of Nrf2 stabilization in homeostasis and survival of trisomic cells, we assessed the Nrf2 signaling pathway as well as the effect of mCAT in DS human fibroblasts (HF), and mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) derived from Dp16 mice, a segmentally trisomic model that reproduces several clinical phenotypes present in people with DS, including cognitive impairment (Belichenko et al., 2015; Li et al., 2007; Yu et al., 2010). The gene discussed is MCAT; the disease is Dravet syndrome.
