NFE2L2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Furthermore, another study showed that in mouse hepatocellular carcinoma (Hepalclc7) cells, dexamethasone facilitated glucocorticoid receptor (GR) recruitment to AREs, inhibiting the assembly of Nrf2-dependent cAMP-response element-binding protein (CBP) and histone acetylation at AREs and the subsequent transcription of downstream Nrf2, blocking its antioxidant capacity 62.
