Xenobiotic-responsive nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor (PXR), constitutive active/androstane receptor (CAR) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) play pivotal roles in the metabolic functions of the liver such as xenobiotics detoxification and energy metabolism. While CAR or PPAR alpha activation induces hepatocyte proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis in rodent models, it remains unclear whether PXR activation also shows such effects. In the present study, we have investigated the role of PXR in the xenobiotic-induced hepatocyte proliferation with or without CAR activation by 1,4-bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene (TCPOBOP) and phenobarbital, or PPAR alpha activation by Wy-14643 in mice. Treatment with TCPOBOP or phenobarbital increased the percentage of Ki-67-positive nuclei as well as mRNA levels of cell proliferation-related genes in livers as expected. On the other hand, treatment with the PXR activator pregnenolone 16 alpha-carbonitrile (PCN) alone showed no such effects. Surprisingly, PCN co-treatment significantly augmented the hepatocyte proliferation induced by CAR activation with TCPOBOP or phenobarbital in wild-type mice but not in PXR-deficient mice. Intriguingly, PXR activation also augmented the hepatocyte proliferation induced by Wy-14643 treatment. Moreover, PCN treatment increased the RNA content of hepatocytes, suggesting the induction of G0/G1 transition, and reduced mRNA levels of Cdkn1b and Rbl2, encoding suppressors of cell cycle initiation. Our present findings indicate that xenobiotic-induced hepatocyte proliferation mediated by CAR or PPAR alpha is enhanced by PXR co-activation despite that PXR activation alone does not cause the cell proliferation in mouse livers. Thus PXR may play a novel and unique role in the hepatocyte/ liver hyperplasia upon exposure to xenobiotics.

Summary: PXR and CAR are transcription factors highly expressed in the liver and play important roles in xenobiotic metabolism and liver functions. PXR activation enhances hepatocyte proliferation, while CAR activation is associated with liver tumorigenesis. Additionally, PXR may have antitumor effects by targeting inflammatory cytokine signals, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Summary: This study assessed the human metabolites of DS-1971a and identified a human disproportionate metabolite M1 formed by CYP2C8-mediated metabolism. Species differences in the formation of M1 provide new insights into the metabolism of cyclohexane-containing substrates by CYP2C8.

Summary: A ligand-accessible space in the CYP2C9 active site was reconstituted as a fused grid-based template, and the interaction between CYP2C9 and its ligands was studied. The results suggest that contacts with the template walls stabilize the ligand binding, and trigger-residue movement initiates CYP2C9 reactions.

A Novel In Vitro Membrane Permeability Methodology Using Three-dimensional Caco-2 Tubules in a Microphysiological System Which Better Mimics In Vivo Physiological Conditions

Summary: The aim of this study was to develop an in vitro drug permeability methodology that accurately mimics the gastrointestinal environment using a three-dimensional (3D) Caco-2 tubules and a microphysiological system. The methodology was confirmed by measuring the permeability of propranolol and subsequently applied to solifenacin and bile acids. This model provides an alternative testing system for drug absorption in a closely resembling environment to the human gastrointestinal tract.

Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling for Quantitative Prediction of Exposure to a Human Disproportionate Metabolite of the Selective NaV1.7 Inhibitor DS-1971a, a Mixed Substrate of Cytochrome P450 and Aldehyde Oxidase, Using Chimeric Mice With Humanized Liver

Summary: This study assessed the pharmacokinetics of the human disproportionate metabolite M1 in PXB-mice and showed that the metabolite profile in PXB-mice is remarkably similar to that in humans. Furthermore, the PBPK model incorporating parameters from PXB-mice provided a more accurate prediction of exposure to M1 compared to the observed value in PXB-mice. This study highlights the usefulness of PBPK modeling in predicting exposure to human disproportionate metabolites.

Summary: This study investigated the selective mechanism of selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) using the synthetic steroid YK11. The results suggested that gene selective regulation by SARMs is achieved through differential DNA-binding and/or cofactor recruitment by ligands. These findings provide novel insights into the mechanism of action of SARMs.

Summary: The nuclear receptor PPAR alpha controls fatty acid metabolism and can be inhibited by the xenobiotic receptor CAR, preventing lipid metabolism. Activation of PPAR alpha increases gene expression related to fatty acid metabolism. PPAR alpha binds to the promoter region of the CAR gene and induces its activity. CAR functions as a negative feedback factor for PPAR alpha activation.
