RESUMO
Oxidative stress(OS)is a major reason for body damage. Studies have shown that a variety of factors, such as ischemia and hypoxia, excessive light and hyperglycemia can cause the increase of reactive oxygen species and free radicals in the retina, thus inducing OS, damaging retina and affecting the normal visual function. Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1(KEAP1)and nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2(NRF2), which together constitute the main antioxidant stress signaling pathway in the body, play an antioxidant role by regulating retinal energy metabolism and cell proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy through various ways, so as to reduce retinal damage caused by OS. In this paper, the role and mechanism of the KEAP1-NRF2 signaling pathway regulation of OS in the retinal are briefly reviewed, aiming to provide ideas for subsequent research.
