Ablation of liver Fxr results in an increased colonic mucus barrier in mice

JHEP Reports, 2021
Background & Aims: The interorgan crosstalk between the liver and the intestine has been the focus of intense research. Key in this crosstalk are bile acids, which are secreted from the liver into the intestine, interact with the microbiome, and upon

The Nuclear Farnesoid X Receptor Reduces p53 Ubiquitination and Inhibits Cervical Cancer Cell Proliferation

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
The role of farnesoid X receptor (FXR) in cervical cancer and the underlying molecular mechanism remain largely unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the mechanism of FXR in cervical cancer.

Farnesoid x Receptor Deficiency Promotes Hepatocytic Injury in Cyp2c70-Deficient Mice With a Human-Like Bile Acid Composition. [PDF]

Liver Int
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Loss‐of‐function mutations in bile acid (BA)‐activated farnesoid x receptor (FXR/NR1H4) cause severe neonatal liver pathology in humans, earlier referred to as progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 5 (PFIC5). However, Fxr‐deficient mice do not develop early‐onset liver disease, possibly due to the predominance ...

A new perspective on NAFLD: Focusing on the crosstalk between peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) and farnesoid X receptor (FXR).

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie, 2022
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is primarily caused by abnormal lipid metabolism and the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver. NAFLD is also associated with hepatic steatosis and nutritional and energy imbalances and is a chronic liver ...
