Pregnane X receptor activation constrains mucosal NF-κB activity in active inflammatory bowel disease.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
BACKGROUND:The Pregnane X Receptor (PXR) is a principal signal transducer in mucosal responses to xenobiotic stress. It is well-recognized that inflammatory bowel disease is accompanied by xenobiotic stress, but the importance of the PXR in limiting ...

Targeting the pregnane X receptor using microbial metabolite mimicry

open access: yesEMBO Molecular Medicine, 2020
The human PXR (pregnane X receptor), a master regulator of drug metabolism, has essential roles in intestinal homeostasis and abrogating inflammation. Existing PXR ligands have substantial off‐target toxicity.

B3galt5 functions as a PXR target gene and regulates obesity and insulin resistance by maintaining intestinal integrity

open access: yesNature Communications
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) has been reported to regulate glycolipid metabolism. The dysfunction of intestinal barrier contributes to metabolic disorders. However, the role of intestinal PXR in metabolic diseases remains largely unknown. Here, we show that

Identification of human pregnane X receptor antagonists utilizing a high-throughput screening platform

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptor with a well-established role in regulating drug metabolism and clearance. Recent studies have shown that PXR is involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, immune response, and energy ...

Pregnane X receptor reduces particulate matter-induced type 17 inflammation in atopic dermatitis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
BackgroundEpidemiological evidence suggests that particulate matter (PM) exposure can trigger or worsen atopic dermatitis (AD); however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Recently, pregnane X receptor (PXR), a xenobiotic receptor, was reported to

Πολυμορφισμοί PXR και καρκίνος

open access: yes, 2021
Ο υποδοχέας Χ πρεγνανίου (Pregnane X Receptor/PXR) ανήκει στην υπεροικογένεια των πυρηνικών υποδοχέων και κυρίως λειτουργεί ως αισθητήρας ξενοβιοτικών ουσιών και ενεργοποιείται από μια πληθώρα μορίων. Ο PXR εκφράζεται ευρέως σε φυσιολογικούς και κακοήθεις ιστούς. Τα ένζυμα μεταβολισμού φαρμάκων και πρωτεΐνες-μεταφορείς υπόκεινται επίσης υπό την ρύθμιση
