Effects of statins on the chemoresistance—The antagonistic drug-drug interactions versus the anti-cancer effects
2018, Biomedicine and PharmacotherapyCitation Excerpt :Therefore, sterols are likely to induce rapid metabolism of different xenobiotics such as the chemotherapy agents via activation of PXR [103]. In addition to PXR, derivatives of cholesterol can also activate CAR [91]; 2, 3-oxidosqualene: lanosterol cyclase, farnesol (an endogenous isoprenoid), and squalene metabolite (squalene 2, 3-oxide or squalene 2, 3:22, 23-dioxide) can be regarded as the endogenous agonists of CAR [91,104–108] (Fig. 1). Thus, statins via reduction of cholesterol and its oxidized derivatives may decrease the transcriptional activity of PXR and CAR.
Toxicogenomics in the pharmaceutical industry: Hollow promises or real benefit?
2005, Mutation Research - Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of MutagenesisSpecies-specific mechanisms for cholesterol 7α-hydroxylase (CYP7A1) regulation by drugs and bile acids
2005, Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsCitation Excerpt :Future studies should focus on identifying transcription factors that control HNF4α expression [68] as well as isolation of co-regulatory proteins which modify the transcriptional activity of HNF4α on the CYP7A1 promoter. Long-term treatment with drugs of the phenobarbital- or rifampicin-class of inducers is associated with changes in cholesterol levels (see [19,31,69,70] and references therein). Moreover, two potent activators of human PXR, rifampicin and ursodeoxycholic acid, have been successfully used in the treatment of cholestasis (see [30,71,72] and references therein).
Regulatory network of lipid-sensing nuclear receptors: Roles for CAR, PXR, LXR, and FXR
2005, Archives of Biochemistry and BiophysicsCitation Excerpt :Among the drug-metabolizing CYPs, CYP3As are the major class of enzymes that hydroxylate bile acids [51,90,91]. Moreover, transcriptional induction of CYP3A genes by bile acids often exceeds that of CYP2B and CYP2C genes ([92,93] and Carmela Gnerre and U.A.M., unpublished observation). A number of findings suggest the presence of additional mechanisms for CYP3A regulation by bile acids.
Cholesterol and bile acids regulate xenosensor signaling in drug-mediated induction of cytochromes P450
2002, Journal of Biological ChemistryCitation Excerpt :This induction can be prevented by replenishing cholesterol levels with oxysterols. The same results were obtained with chicken CYP2H1 and CYP3A37 mRNA in the chicken hepatoma cell line LMH (22). In the CYP2H1 5′-flanking region, a 264-bp PB-responsive enhancer unit (PBRU) was isolated, and within this enhancer fragment, a DR-4 element was identified to be essential for conferring drug induction (14).
