The NRF2 stimulating agent, tin protoporphyrin, activates protective cytokine pathways in healthy human subjects and in patients with chronic kidney disease

Abstract Background Tin protoporphyrin (SnPP), a heme oxygenase 1 (HO‐1) inhibitor, triggers adaptive tissue responses that confer potent protection against acute renal‐ and extra‐renal tissue injuries. This effect is mediated, in part, via SnPP‐induced activation of the cytoprotective Nrf2 pathway....
