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:Effect of TCPOBOP, PCN, rosuvastatin, and atorvastatinin on cholesterol homeostasis
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:Several drugs induce liver steatosis through pregnane X receptor (PXR)-mediated mechanism. Atorvastatin is a PXR ligand but is still safe even in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. To reveal differences between atorvastatin and other PXR ligands, we characterized the effect of atorvastatin on PXR-mediated gene regulation and liver steatosis in mice. Mice were treated orally with atorvastatin, a classical PXR ligand pregnenolone 16α-carbonitrile (PCN), or pravastatin, a statin not activating PXR. Atorvastatin treatment was also performed in PXR knockout mice. Analysis of liver transcriptomics after four-day treatment indicated that atorvastatin regulates genes almost exclusively through PXR. Atorvastatin and PCN regulated partially overlapping, but distinct set of genes and Cyp3a11 was not induced by atorvastatin. Pathway analysis indicated that the atorvastatin treatment predominantly induced genes involved in cholesterol synthesis, while PCN affected pathways involved in growth, proliferation, and steatosis. PCN increased nuclear SREBP1 protein level while atorvastatin increased both SREBP1 and SREBP2. In high-fat diet (HFD)-fed mice, 28-day oral treatment with PCN aggravated diet-induced liver steatosis while atorvastatin had no effect. 28-day atorvastatin treatment reduced the hepatic expression of PXR, and its effect on cholesterol synthesis genes disappeared. PCN did not influence PXR expression, and the Cyp3a11 expression remained induced still after 28 days. Among the lipogenic genes studied, Scd1 was the only one significantly induced by PCN after 28-day treatment in the HFD-fed mice. In summary, atorvastatin regulates mouse liver transcriptomics PXR dependently but differently from PCN and represses PXR in long-term treatment in the HFD-fed mice. Unlike PCN, atorvastatin does not promote liver steatosis.
