Nuclear Respiratory Factor-1 (NRF-1), A Versatile Therapeutic Target: Influence of Plant Metabolites
Keywords:
Nuclear respiratory factor-1, Plant metabolites, Mitochondria, Oxidative stress, diseasesAbstract
Nuclear-encoded transcriptional regulatory proteins called transcription factors can potentially influence mitochondrial gene expression directly or indirectly. Mitochondria contain their own genome, which encodes 13 of the ∼100 proteins that constitute the enzyme complexes of the respiratory chain. Mitochondria are the fuel stations of all eukaryotic cells and functions as central component of mammalian cellular survival through production of ATP and re-oxidized NAD. Nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF- 1) coordinates the expression of nuclear and mitochondrial genes for mitochondrial biogenesis. It increases mitochondrial respiratory capacity and induces expression of a subset of genes governing mitochondrial activity. It has a major function in cellular adaptation to energy demands by translating physiological signals into an enhanced capacity for energy production. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of many diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. NRF proteins are also essential in the upregulation of antioxidant and xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes during oxidative stress. NRF-1 plays a role in mediating activation of oxidative stress response genes through antioxidant response element and hence, confirms its potential roles in chronic diseases. This review has clearly revealed the versatility of NRF- 1 as a therapeutic target and showed that plants could exhibit their fight against diseases through activation of NRF-1.

Song et al. (2015) reported that the roots of Atractylodes macrocephala Koidzumi (Atractylodis Rhizoma Alba, ARA) enhanced glucose and lipid metabolism in C2C12 myotubes
via mitochondrial regulation. The root extract was found to stimulate mitochondria biogenesis markers such as PGC1????, NRF1, and TFAM with increase of ATP content. It was suggested that ARA extract and its active constituents possess therapeutic potential for the treatment of insulin resistance, obesity, and T2 diabetes. Boesenbergia pandurata has been found to stimulate exercise endurance through elevation of
mRNA expression of key factors of mitochondria biogenesis and function such as NRF-1 (Kim et al., 2016). It was concluded that Boesenbergia pandurata could be a potential nutraceutical candidate for the enhancement of exercise endurance due on its mitochondrial biogenesis and exercise- mimicking effects. The extract of orange-fleshed sweet potato has been shown to improve the expression of nrf-1 gene in palmitate-induced insulin resistant C2C12 cells (Ayeleso et al., 2018). In another study, it was shown that the neonatal
administration of oleanolic acid, a a pentacyclic triterpenoid in plant could help to increase the expression of glut-4, cpt-1 and nrf-1 in fructose-induced metabolic dysfunction in both young and adult rats (Molepo et al., 2018).
