Journal ArticleDOI

An Orphan Nuclear Receptor Activated by Pregnanes Defines a Novel Steroid Signaling Pathway

TL;DR: The results provide evidence for the existence of a novel steroid hormone signaling pathway with potential implications in the regulation of steroid hormone and sterol homeostasis and the expression of the CYP3A family of steroid hydroxylases and modulates sterol and bile acid biosynthesis in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Docosahexaenoic Acid, a Ligand for the Retinoid X Receptor in Mouse Brain

TL;DR: DHA, a long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid that is highly enriched in the adult mammalian brain, is identified as a factor in brain tissue from adult mice that activates RXR in cell-based assays, suggesting that DHA may influence neural function through activation of an RXR signaling pathway.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular expression of the immediate early transcription factors Nurr1 and NGFI-B suggests a gene regulatory role in several brain regions including the nigrostriatal dopamine system.

TL;DR: The spatiotemporal distribution of Nurr1 and NGFI-B mRNAs suggests that these transcription factors are involved in the development and maturation of specific sets of CNS neurons, implying one of these functions may be to control gene regulatory events important for development and function of those neurons that degenerate in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Role of retinoids in the CNS: differential expression of retinoid binding proteins and receptors and evidence for presence of retinoic acid.

TL;DR: The specific expression pattern ofretinoid‐binding proteins and nuclear retinoid receptors as well as the presence of RA in striatum suggests that retinoids are important in many brain structures and emphasizes a role for retinoidal in gene regulatory events in postnatal and adult striatum.
