Nuclear receptors CAR and PXR as cardiometabolic regulators
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) were initially described as xenobiotic sensors, but an increasing number of studies have linked their activity to other important physiological processes including glucose and lipid

ChIPing the cistrome of PXR in mouse liver
The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a key regulator of xenobiotic metabolism and disposition in liver. However, little is known about the PXR DNA-binding signatures in vivo, or how PXR regulates novel direct targets on a genome-wide scale. Therefore, we generated a roadmap of hepatic PXR bindings in the entire mouse genome [chromatin immunoprecipitation ...

The intestinal functions of PXR and CAR
Pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) are so-called xenobiotic nuclear receptors that play pivotal roles in xenobiotic metabolism and detoxification. Both receptors, highly expressed in the liver and intestine, also have endobiotic functions by regulating the homeostasis of endogenous chemicals.

PXR as a mediator of herb–drug interaction
Medicinal herbs have been a part of human medicine for thousands of years. The herb-drug interaction is an extension of drug-drug interaction, in which the consumptions of herbs cause alterations in the metabolism of drugs the patients happen to take at the same time.

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
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

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

Πολυμορφισμοί PXR και καρκίνος
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
