The roles of orphan nuclear receptors, SHP and FXR, and their cofactors in bile acid signaling
… are poorly understood. In recent years, two orphan nuclear receptors, farnesoid X receptor (FXR) and small heterodimer partner (SHP), have been identified as key regulators in bile acid signaling. FXR was revealed as the first in vivo bile acid biosensor and was shown to regulate …

Porcine model of xenobiotic metabolism
… of xenobiotics introduced into the body. Orphan nuclear receptors play crucial role in regulation of the expression of DMEs. The pig has quickly grown into an important biomedical research tool over the past few decades. The pig is an appropriate animal model for the investigation of …

THE ROLE OF EPIGENETICS IN TRANSCRIPTIONAL REGULATION OF FXR AND SILENCING FXR EXPRESSION IN HUMAN COLON CANCER
… activated transcription factor belonging to the nuclear receptor superfamily and bile acids are its endogenous ligands. FXR is a critical regulator of the enterohepatic circulation of bile acids, lipid homeostasis, glucose metabolism, and tumor suppression in liver and intestine. Consequently, …

Tandem reaction sequences on a zirconocene template
… the biological function of the human orphan nuclear receptors: LRH-1 and SF-1. Equivalent tandem insertion of 1,1-dihalo-1-lithio species and lithium acetylides into saturated zirconacycles resulted in the synthesis of novel bicyclo[3.3.0]octanes, though in many cases limited by a ?-H …

Evaluating the Mechanisms of 2-Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin and Liver X Receptor Agonists as Potential Therapies for Niemann-Pick Type C Disease
Cholesterol is essential to life; therefore, the synthesis, entry, and efflux of cholesterol are tightly regulated. In some rare disease states, such as in Niemann-Pick Type C, cholesterol balance is lost leading to detrimental effects. In Niemann-Pick Type C, mutations in either of the cholesterol …
