Loss of \u03b2-cell integrity secondary to oxidation leads to an inability to appropriately synthesize and secrete insulin. Allogenic islet cell transplantation (ICT) has risen as a therapeutic option to mitigate problematic hypoglycemia. Nevertheless, during the process of transplantation, islet cells are exposed to oxidatively caustic conditions that severely decrease the islet cell yield. Islet cells are at a baseline disadvantage to sustain themselves during times of metabolic stress as they lack a robust anti-oxidant defense system, glycogen stores, and vascularity. The Nrf2\/Keap1 system is a master regulator of antioxidant genes that has garnered attention as pharmacologic activators have shown a protective response and a low side effect profile. Herein, we present the most recently studied Nrf2\/Keap1 activators in pancreas for application in ICT: Dh404, dimethyl fumarate (DMF), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Furthermore, we discuss that Nrf2\/Keap1 is a potential target to ameliorate oxidative stress at every step of the Edmonton Protocol.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antiox9040321","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,16]],"date-time":"2020-04-16T13:01:39Z","timestamp":1587042099000},"page":"321","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Potential Benefits of Nrf2\/Keap1 Targeting in Pancreatic Islet Cell Transplantation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Alberto","family":"Jarrin Lopez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California, Irvine, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hien","family":"Lau","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California, Irvine, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shiri","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California, Irvine, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hirohito","family":"Ichii","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, University of California, Irvine, CA 92868, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1139","DOI":"10.1016\/S0006-2952(97)00492-9","article-title":"Cytokines and their roles in pancreatic islet \u03b2-cell destruction and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus","volume":"55","author":"Rabinovitch","year":"1998","journal-title":"Biochem.
