The Pivotal Role of GR‐CAR Pathway in Fetal Programming of Hepatic Cytochrome P450 3A Alteration in Adulthood

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) persistently upregulates hepatic CYP3A1/CYP2B1 in offspring via glucocorticoid receptor (GR) activation. In vivo and in vitro studies show GR promotes P300/CBP binding to the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) promoter, sustaining histone acetylation (H3K9/K27ac) and enhancing CYP expression. The GR–CAR pathway
