Overview of Gene Research
Sfn, which stands for Sulforaphane, is a phytocompound belonging to the isothiocyanate family. It is mainly present in sprouts of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. SFN is produced from glucoraphanin by the action of myrosinase. It is well-known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. These properties suggest its potential in various biological processes and disease prevention [1,2].
SFN has been studied for its effects in multiple disease conditions. In neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis, its beneficial effects suggest it could be a useful supplement [1]. In cervical cancer cells, it enhances radiosensitivity by activating LATS2 and blocking Rad51/MDC1 recruitment to the DNA damage site [3]. For psoriasis, it alleviates symptoms through KEAP1-NRF2 pathway activation and attenuation of inflammatory signaling [4].
In conclusion, Sfn exhibits a wide range of biological functions mainly due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. Its study in various disease models, including those related to neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and psoriasis, has provided insights into its potential therapeutic applications. Understanding Sfn may offer new strategies for treating these diseases.
