An increase in PSMD4 by cNrf2 promotes cell invasion.
An increase in PSMD4 by cNrf2 reciprocally promotes Nrf2 nuclear export.
The increase in HIF-1α and nuclear β-catenin by cNrf2 up-regulates PSMD4 expression at the transcriptional level.
Metastatic tumors in nude mice induced by the cNrf2 can be completely suppressed by carfilzomib.
CNrf2 may predict poor outcome in colorectal cancer. Carfilzomib might improve tumor regression and outcomes in patients who harbor cNrf2 tumors.
