Abstract: Background With the development of liver surgery, especially in the liver transplants, more attention was focus on the transcription factor NF-E2-related factor 2(nuclear factor elytroid 2-related factor 2, Nrf2) and antioxidant response element(ARE) anti-oxidative stress system effect on the liver injury. Objective Literatures about the Nrf2-ARE antioxidant system protection in the liver were analyzed and summarized. Content Nrf2, ARE structure and the signal path and comparisons of three kinds of model mice-Nrf2 gene deletion, Nrf2 drugs activation, Nrf2 gene activation-with wild-type mice on liver tolerance to oxidative stress were briefly reviewed. Trend Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway in the liver has a protective effec for clinical application.
