In the past 25 years, Nrf2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, also called NFE2L2) had been preferentially parsed as a master hub of regulating antioxidant, detoxification, and cytoprotective genes; albeit as a matter of fact that Nrf1 (nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 1, also called NFE2L1)-rather than Nrf2-is indispensable for cell homeostasis and organ integrity during normal growth and development. Herein, distinct genotypic cell lines (i.e., Nrf1α -/-  , Nrf2 -/-ΔTA  , and caNrf2 ΔN  ) are employed to determine differential yet integral roles of Nrf1 and Nrf2 in mediating antioxidant responsive genes to tert -butylhydroquinone ( t BHQ) serving as a pro-oxidative stressor. In Nrf1α -/-  cells, Nrf2 was highly accumulated but also could not fully compensate specific loss of Nrf1α's function in its basal cytoprotective response against endogenous oxidative stress, though it exerted partially inducible antioxidant response, as the hormetic effect of t BHQ, against apoptotic damages. By contrast, Nrf2 -/-ΔTA  cells gave rise to a substantial reduction of Nrf1 in both basal and t BHQ-stimulated expression levels and hence resulted in obvious oxidative stress, but it can still be allowed to mediate a potent antioxidant response, as accompanied by a significantly decreased ratio of GSSG (oxidized glutathione) to GSH (reduced glutathione). Conversely, a remarkable increase of Nrf1 expression resulted from the constitutive active caNrf2 ΔN  cells, which were not manifested with oxidative stress, whether or not it was intervened with t BHQ. Such inter-regulatory effects of Nrf1 and Nrf2 on the antioxidant and detoxification genes (encoding HO-1, NQO1, GCLC, GCLM, GSR, GPX1, TALDO, MT1E, and MT2), as well on the ROS (reactive oxygen species)-scavenging activities of SOD (superoxide dismutase) and CAT (catalase), were further investigated. The collective results unraveled that Nrf1 and Nrf2 make distinctive yet cooperative contributions to finely tuning basal constitutive and/or t BHQ-inducible expression levels of antioxidant cytoprotective genes in the inter-regulatory networks. Overall, Nrf1 acts as a brake control for Nrf2's functionality to be confined within a certain extent, whilst its transcription is regulated by Nrf2.
