In xenograft models, NRF2 overexpression promoted tumor growth and increased the expression of antioxidant and angiogenic factors, including heme oxygenase-1 and vascular endothelial growth factor A. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that NRF2 regulates ovarian cancer aggressiveness and chemoresistance by coordinating stress response signaling, survival pathways, and tumor progression. The gene discussed is HMOX1; the disease is ovarian carcinoma.
