Transcription profiling of mouse liver from wild type (WT), RORalphasg/sg, RORgamma-/-, and double knockout animals reveals a regulatory role for RORalpha and RORgamma in Phase I and Phase II Metabolism

ABSTRACT: Retinoid-related orphan receptors RORalpha and RORgamma are both expressed in liver; however, their physiological functions have not yet been clearly defined. RORalpha1 and RORgamma1, but not RORalpha4, show an oscillatory pattern of expression during circadian rhythm. To obtain insight into the physiological functions of ROR receptors in liver, we analyzed the gene expression profiles of livers from WT, RORalpha-deficient staggerer mice (RORalphasg/sg), RORgamma-/-, and RORalpha sg/sgRORgamma-/- double knockout (DKO) mice by microarray analysis. DKO mice were generated to study functional redundancy between RORalpha and RORgamma. These analyses demonstrated that RORalpha and RORgamma affect the expression of a number of genes. RORalpha and RORalpha are particularly important in the regula
