Hirotaka Kitada,Masaaki Miyata,Toshifumi Nakamura,Aki Tozawa,Wataru Honma,Miki Shimada,Kiyoshi Nagata,Christopher J. Sinal,Grace L. Guo,Frank J. Gonzalez,Yasushi Yamazoe +10 more
TL;DR: Results indicate hydroxysteroid sulfotransferase-mediated LCA sulfation as a major pathway for protection against LCA-induced liver damage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nicotinamide prolongs survival of primary cultured hepatocytes without involving loss of hepatocyte-specific functions.
TL;DR: The results suggest that the maintenance of the intracellular NAD level is essential for the growth and functioning of hepatocytes and that nicotinamide can preserve the NAD level by blocking NAD degradation as well as by acting as a precursor for NAD synthesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of Farnesoid X Receptor in the Enhancement of Canalicular Bile Acid Output and Excretion of Unconjugated Bile Acids: A Mechanism for Protection against Cholic Acid-Induced Liver Toxicity
Masaaki Miyata,Aki Tozawa,Hijiri Otsuka,Toshifumi Nakamura,Kiyoshi Nagata,Frank J. Gonzalez,Yasushi Yamazoe +6 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the cholic acid-induced enhancement of canalicular bile acid output rates and excretion of unconjugated bile acids are involved in adaptive responses for prevention of cholic Acid-induced toxicity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonepithelial mineralocorticoid receptor activation as a determinant of kidney disease.
TL;DR: The role of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte homeostasis via differential gene expression, and its role in modulating inflammation and fibrosis has been identified as mentioned in this paper .
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms of mineralocorticoid receptor-associated hypertension in diabetes mellitus: the role of O-GlcNAc modification
Rie Jo,Hirotaka Shibata,Isao Kurihara,Kenichi Yokota,Sakiko Kobayashi,Ayano Murai-Takeda,Yuko Mitsuishi,Takeshi Hayashi,Toshifumi Nakamura,Hiroshi Itoh +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that O-GlcNAcylation of the MR directly increases protein levels and transcriptional activities of the receptor under high-glucose conditions in vitro and in vivo.
