The Decrease in Farnesoid X Receptor, Pregnane X Receptor and Constitutive Androstane Receptor in the Liver after Intestinal Ischemia-Reperfusion

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2012
Purpose. Intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) damages remote organs, including the liver, and promotes multi-organ failure (MOF). However, the molecular mechanisms underlying acute liver injury after intestinal I/R have not been completely elucidated ...

Mangrove Tirucallane- and Apotirucallane-Type Triterpenoids: Structure Diversity of the C-17 Side-Chain and Natural Agonists of Human Farnesoid/Pregnane–X–Receptor

Marine Drugs, 2018
Ten new triterpenoid compounds with structure diversity of the C-17 side-chain, including nine tirucallanes, named xylocarpols A⁻E (1⁻5) and agallochols A⁻D (6⁻9), and an apotirucallane, named 25-dehydroxy protoxylogranatin B (10),

Structural and functional similarity of amphibian constitutive androstane receptor with mammalian pregnane X receptor.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The nuclear receptors and xenosensors constitutive androstane receptor (CAR, NR1I3) and pregnane X receptor (PXR, NR1I2) induce the expression of xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes and transporters, which also affects various endobiotics.

Cholesterol detoxification by the nuclear pregnane X receptor [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2005
We have a love–hate relationship with cholesterol. On one hand, cholesterol is an essential component of cell membranes and serves as the precursor to steroid hormones and bile acids. On the other hand, cholesterol can clog blood vessels and give rise to cardiovascular disease.

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

Development of a population pharmacokinetic model using combined paediatric and adult data for four pulmonary arterial hypertension drugs

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a syndrome characterized by elevated pulmonary artery pressure. We developed a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model using combined plasma drug concentration data from Japanese paediatric (<15 years) and adult (≥15 years) patients with PAH to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics of PAH ...

CYP3A4 and pregnane X receptor humanized mice [PDF]

Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology, 2007
AbstractMarked species differences exist in P450 expression and activities. In order to produce mouse models that can be used to more accurately predict human drug and carcinogen metabolism, P450‐ and xenobiotic receptor humanized mice are being prepared using bacterial artificial chromosomes (BAC) and P1 phage artificial chromosomes (PAC) genomic ...

Pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir: A scoping review of evidence, gaps and clinical implications

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Dolutegravir underpins modern first‐ and second‐line HIV treatment regimens; however, interindividual variability in its disposition and tolerability presents challenges for optimal use. This scoping review mapped current evidence on the pharmacogenomics of dolutegravir, focusing on pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, and methodological limitations ...

Myeloid-specific deficiency of pregnane X receptor decreases atherosclerosis in LDL receptor-deficient mice[S]

Journal of Lipid Research, 2020
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a nuclear receptor that can be activated by numerous drugs and xenobiotic chemicals. PXR thereby functions as a xenobiotic sensor to coordinately regulate host responses to xenobiotics by transcriptionally regulating many
