Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE13688: Effect of TCPOBOP and PCN in combination with high-cholesterol diet on genes involved in cholesterol homeostasis GSE13689: Effect of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin in combination with high-cholesterol diet on cholesterol homeostasis Refer to individual Series
Project description:TCPOBOP (1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)]benzene) and PCN (pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile) are inducers of drug metabolism through activation of nuclear receptors CAR (constitutive androstane receptor) and PXR (pregnane X receptor), respectively. Mouse experiment was designed to study the effect of CAR and PXR activation on cholesterol homeostasis genes and other genes, which are present on the Steroltalk v2 microarray. Treatments were combined with standard and high-cholesterol diet to observe the interference of high liver cholesterol on nuclear receptor transcription regulation. All experiments were done within the European sixth Framework program âSteroltalkâ (www.steroltalk.net). Results form these experiments give new knowledge about involvement of âxenosensorsâ CAR and PXR in regulation of endogenous liver metabolism. Animals were injected i.p. 3mg/kg TCPOBOP, 40 mg/kg PCN or vehicle (corn oil) in combination of one week of standard or 1% cholesterol diet prior tretament. After 24h they were sacrificed and total RNA was isolated from the livers. Each sample was hybridized with a reference sample to Steroltalk v2 microarrays.

Treatments were combined with standard and high-cholesterol diet to observe the interference of high liver cholesterol on nuclear receptor transcription regulation. All experiments were done within the European sixth Framework program “Steroltalk” (www.steroltalk.net). Results form these experiments give new knowledge about involvement of ‘xenosensors’ CAR and PXR in regulation of endogenous liver metabolism.
Project description:This SuperSeries is composed of the following subset Series: GSE12489: Effect of phenobarbital on CAR and PXR regulated genes involved in drug metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis GSE12509: Effect of TCPOBOP on CAR and PXR regulated genes involved in drug metabolism and cholesterol homeostasis Refer to individual Series
Project description:We describe the effect of a novel combined human CAR agonist/PXR antagonist MI-883 on the liver transcriptome. RNA-seq transcriptomic data in control (n=5) and MI-883-treated (n=5) humanized PXR-CAR-CYP3A4/3A7 male mice fed with high-fat diet demonstrate that MI-883 significantly regulates genes involved in xenobiotic metabolism, and fatty acid and cholesterol homeostasis. This compound thus reduces plasma cholesterol levels and enhances fecal bile acid excretion.
