Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) functions as a tumor suppressor via regulating stemness in liver cancer [PDF]
Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a xenosensor that is almost exclusively expressed in the liver. Studies in rodents suggest an oncogenic role for CAR in liver cancer, but its role in human liver cancer is unclear.

Transcriptomic analysis across liver diseases reveals disease-modulating activation of constitutive androstane receptor in cholestasis [PDF]
Background & Aims: Liver diseases are caused by many factors, such as genetics, nutrition, and viruses. Therefore, it is important to delineate transcriptomic changes that occur in various liver diseases.

The mouse cytochrome P450 1A2 (Cyp1a2) gene is one of the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3) activator-inducible genes, and the regions involved in induction were examined herein. A reporter gene assay indicated the involvement of the -0.2-kb region in the induction of transcriptional activation by the mouse CAR agonist ligand 1,4-bis-[2-(3 ...

Summary: Here, we describe an optimized protocol to identify specific nuclear receptor ligands. First, to rule out any compound interference with luciferase activity per se, we describe an in vitro assay assessing potential inhibition or activation of ...

The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), a known xenobiotic sensor, plays an important role in drug metabolism by regulating numerous genes. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pyrene, an environmental pollutant, is a CAR activator and induces mouse ...

Nuclear receptor CAR represses TNFα-induced cell death by interacting with the anti-apoptotic GADD45B [PDF]
Background: Phenobarbital (PB) is the most well-known among numerous non-genotoxic carcinogens that cause the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). PB activates nuclear xenobiotic receptor Constitutive Active/Androstane Receptor (CAR; NR1I3) and
