In addition to Nrf2, AKR1B10 is transcriptionally regulated by p53 [37,40], in agreement with the upregulation of the AKR1B10 mRNA by chemotherapeutic agents in normal diploid cells and in cancer cells expressing wild type p53, and its downregulation in cancer cells harbouring mutant p53 [39]. The gene discussed is AKR1B10; the disease is cancer.
