Regulation of hepatic heme synthesis by drugs, bile acids and nutrition : a transcriptional network regulating [delta]-aminolevulinic acid synthase 1 (ALAS1) [PDF]

, 2008
ALAS1 is the rate limiting enzyme of heme synthesis. It is highly inducible in liver in cases of increased heme demand, such as drug metabolism or in inducible hepatic porphyrias.

Role of metabolic nuclear receptors in acute liver injury and drug-induced hepatotoxicity

Pharmacological Research
Metabolic nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors central to metabolic homeostasis and detoxification. While their roles in chronic liver diseases have been reviewed, comprehensive reviews specifically addressing the role of ...

Pregnane X receptor in drug-induced liver injury: Friend or foe?

Liver Research, 2018
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand activated nuclear receptor that is highly expressed in the liver and regulates many cellular functions including drug metabolism, endobiotic metabolism, oxidative stress response, apoptosis, inflammation, cell ...

Inhibition of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase Erk1/2 Promotes Protein Degradation of ATP Binding Cassette Transporters A1 and G1 in CHO and in HuH7 cells. [PDF]

, 2013
Signal transduction modulates expression and activity of cholesterol transporters. We recently demonstrated that the Ras/mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling cascade regulates protein stability of Scavenger Receptor BI (SR-BI) through ...

Sustained Isoprostane E2 Elevation, Inflammation and Fibrosis after Acute Ischaemia-Reperfusion Injury Are Reduced by Pregnane X Receptor Activation.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Liver grafts donated after cardiac death are increasingly used to expand the donor pool but are prone to ischaemic-type biliary lesions. The anti-inflammatory effects of the activated pregnane X receptor have previously been shown to be beneficial in a ...

Xanthohumol ameliorates Diet-Induced Liver Dysfunction via Farnesoid X Receptor-Dependent and Independent Signaling

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2021
The farnesoid X receptor (FXR) plays a critical role in the regulation of lipid and bile acid (BA) homeostasis. Hepatic FXR loss results in lipid and BA accumulation, and progression from hepatic steatosis to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).

Crossroads between drug and energy metabolism : role of constitutive androstane receptor and AMP-activated kinase [PDF]

, 2010
Phenobarbital (PB) is a prototype inducer of genes encoding drug metabolizing enzymes including the cytochromes P450 (CYPs). Additionally, phenobarbital was found to repress genes that encode enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis such as ...

Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Promotes Foam Cell Formation in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells and Atherogenesis Via HMGB1

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background This study aimed at investigating whether NLRP3 (the Nod like receptor family, pyrin domain‐containing 3 protein) inflammasome activation induced HMGB1 (high mobility group box‐1 protein) secretion and foam cell formation in human vascular ...

Exploration of Hepatoprotective Effect of Gentiopicroside on Alpha-Naphthylisothiocyanate-Induced Cholestatic Liver Injury in Rats by Comprehensive Proteomic and Metabolomic Signatures

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Cholestasis is the major cause of the accumulation of bile acids and results in liver damage, fibrosis, and failure. A growing number of studies have shown that gentiopicroside is a promising prospect that may protect the liver. However,

Liver as a new target organ in Alzheimer’s disease: insight from cholesterol metabolism and its role in amyloid-beta clearance

Neural Regeneration Research, 2023
Alzheimer’s disease, the primary cause of dementia, is characterized by neuropathologies, such as amyloid plaques, synaptic and neuronal degeneration, and neurofibrillary tangles.
