Gene Expression Profiling Reveals that PXR Activation Inhibits Hepatic PPARα Activity and Decreases FGF21 Secretion in Male C57Bl6/J Mice

Abstract: The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is the main nuclear receptor regulating the expression of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes and is highly expressed in the liver and intestine. Recent studies have highlighted its additional role in lipid homeostasis, however, the mechanisms of these regulations are not fully elucidated. We investigated the transcriptomic signature of PXR activation in the liver of adult wild-type vs. Pxr-/- C57Bl6/J male mice treated with the rodent specific ligand pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PC… Show more

“…Intriguingly, the suppressive effect of PFOA on plasma cholesterol was magnified in the PPARα −/− mice. Taking into account the increased sensitivity to PXR activation in the PPARα −/− mice and considering that PXR activation lowers plasma cholesterol, it can be speculated that PFOA reduces plasma cholesterol via PXR [ 79 ]. Concerning NEFA, plasma levels were decreased by high-dose PFOA in the wildtype and PPARα −/− mice, suggesting that the effect is independent of PPARα.…”

“…These findings support the favorable impact of lingonberry-induced increase in Cyp2c29 expression found in the present study. Cyp2c55 (also increased by lingonberry supplementation) is a target gene for nuclear receptor pregnane X (PXR), and is related to retinol metabolism and 19-HETE synthesis from arachidonic acid [95][96][97].…”

“…The widely used anti-inflammatory drug hypocretin has also been reported as an agonist of PXR, the activation of PXR is followed by upregulation of the downstream proteins CYP3A11, CYP2B10, and organic anion transporter 2 (OATP2), which can also stimulate nuclear migration of YAP, leading to lipid accumulation (10). In addition to the accumulation of triglycerides in the liver of transgenic mice, PXR activation down-regulates hepatic PPARa activity and fibroblast growth factor 12 (FGF21) circulation, which could participate in the pleiotropic role of PXR in energy homeostasis (90).…”
