Sesamin: A Naturally Occurring Lignan Inhibits CYP3A4 by Antagonizing the Pregnane X Receptor Activation
Inconsistent expression and regulation of drug-metabolizing enzymes (DMEs) are common causes of adverse drug effects in some drugs with a narrow therapeutic index (TI). An important cytochrome, cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), is predominantly regulated by a nuclear receptor, pregnane X receptor (PXR). Sesamin, a major lignan constituent in sesame seeds and oil, exhibits a variety of biological fu...
متن کاملActivation of pregnane X receptor inhibits
Received 8 August 2012 Revised 7 November 2012 Accepted 2 December 2012 Published Online First 5 January 2013 ABSTRACT Objective To assess the antifibrotic effects of pregnane X receptors (PXRs) in experimental dermal fibrosis. Methods The antifibrotic effects of PXR activation by 5-pregnen-3β-ol-20-one-16α-carbonitrile (PCN) were studied in the bleomycin model for prevention of dermal fibrosis...
متن کاملSelective phthalate activation of naturally occurring human constitutive androstane receptor splice variants and the pregnane X receptor.
Phthalates and other endocrine-disruptive chemicals are manufactured in large quantities for use as plasticizers and other commercial applications, resulting in ubiquitous human exposure and thus, concern regarding their toxicity. Innate defense against small molecule exposures is controlled in large part by the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and the pregnane X receptor (PXR). The human...
متن کاملHuman pregnane X receptor activation and CYP3A4/CYP2B6 induction by 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase inhibition.
The effects of [4'-(6-allyl-methyl-amino-hexyloxy)-2'-fluoro-phenyl]-(4-bromophenyl)-methanone fumarate (Ro 48-8071), an inhibitor of 2,3-oxidosqualene:lanosterol cyclase (cyclase), were evaluated on CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 mRNA content in primary cultured human hepatocytes. In seven hepatocyte culture preparations, 24-h treatment with 3, 10, or 30 microM Ro 48-8071 produced median increases in CYP3A...
متن کاملThe orphan human pregnane X receptor mediates the transcriptional activation of CYP3A4 by rifampicin through a distal enhancer module.
Cytochrome P-450 3A4 (CYP3A4), the predominant cytochrome P-450 expressed in adult human liver, is subject to transcriptional induction by a variety of structurally unrelated xenobiotics, including the antibiotic rifampicin. The molecular mechanisms underlying this phenomenon are poorly understood. We transfected a human liver-derived cell line (HepG2) with various CYP3A4-luciferase reporter ge...
