KEAP1 and cancer: Taken together, these data highlight the existence of a complex interrelation between the NRF2/KEAP1 pathway and stress-related responses commonly found in the microenvironment of malignant tumors, confirming that aberrant NRF2 activation can represent a common feature of cancer cells, even in the absence of alterations of the redox status or prooncogenic mutations in NRF2/KEAP1 genes.
