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.

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.

Conservation of signaling pathways of xenobiotic-sensing orphan nuclear receptors, chicken xenobiotic receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, and pregnane X receptor, from birds to humans [PDF]

, 2001
Chicken xenobiotic receptor, pregnane X receptor, and constitutive androstane receptor are orphan nuclear receptors that have recently been discovered to regulate drug- and steroid-mediated induction of hepatic cytochromes P450 (CYP).

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

Stereoselective Biotransformation: Transfer of Learning to Advance Drug Metabolism and Biocatalysis

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 25, 15 June 2026.
Understanding stereoselective biotransformations has implications for predicting drug disposition and response and may also inspire novel biocatalytic and biomimetic strategies to address challenges in metabolite and API synthesis. ABSTRACT Chirality is an important determinant of drug action, as enantiomers can exhibit markedly different ...

Pregnane X Receptor Mediates Atherosclerosis Induced by Dicyclohexyl Phthalate in LDL Receptor-Deficient Mice

Cells, 2022
Plastic-associated endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been implicated in the etiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in humans, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

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 ...

Effect of carbamazepine on the pharmacokinetics of vepdegestrant, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera estrogen receptor degrader, in healthy adults

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aim To evaluate the effects of carbamazepine, a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A4 inducer, on the pharmacokinetics and safety of vepdegestrant, a PROteolysis TArgeting Chimera estrogen receptor degrader. Methods This was a phase 1, open‐label, fixed‐sequence, two‐period study in healthy adult participants.

Induction of cytochrome P450 2C9 and P‐glycoprotein activity by antiseizure medications: A systematic review and network meta‐analysis

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Antiseizure medications (ASMs) can induce the activity of drug‐metabolizing enzymes and drug transporters, including cytochrome P450 (CYP)2C9 and P‐glycoprotein (P‐gp). Our objective was to comparatively assess the effects of ASMs on exposure to clinical CYP2C9 and P‐gp substrates.

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
