Nonylphenol-mediated CYP induction is PXR-dependent: The use of humanized mice and human hepatocytes suggests that hPXR is less sensitive than mouse PXR to nonylphenol treatment.

TLDR
It is shown that PXR is required for NP-mediated CYP-induction, mP XR mediates greater CYP induction than hPXR in vivo, and the presence of PXr, especially mPxR, is associated with altered histopathology and increased clearance of NP.

Xenobiotic metabolism in the zebrafish: a review of the spatiotemporal distribution, modulation and activity of Cytochrome P450 families 1 to 3.

TL;DR: The available spatiotemporal, modulation and activity data on zebrafish CYP 1-3 families are reviewed in this paper and compared with human CYP data, showing distinct evolutionary and orthological similarities with humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

PXR variants: the impact on drug metabolism and therapeutic responses

TL;DR: The pregnane X receptor (PXR) plays an important and diverse role in mediating xenobiotic induction of drug-metabolizing enzymes and transporters and their expression differs in various human cancers and also in cancerous tissue compared to adjacent normal tissues.

Compensatory changes in CYP expression in three different toxicology mouse models: CAR-null, Cyp3a-null, and Cyp2b9/10/13-null mice

TL;DR: The ratio of 6α-/15α-hydroxylase activity, a biomarker of sexual dimorphism in the liver, indicates masculinization of female CAR-null mice, suggesting a role for CAR in the regulation of sexually dimorphic liver CYP profiles.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemical Activation of the Constitutive Androstane Receptor Leads to Activation of Oxidant-Induced Nrf2

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that Nrf2 activation often occurs after exposure to xenobiotic chemicals, is tightly linked to activation of CAR, and does not require induction of 3 Cyp2b genes secondary to CAR activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Xenobiotic receptor humanized mice and their utility

TL;DR: This review provides an overview of the different xenobiotic receptor humanized mouse models described to date and will summarize how these models can be applied in basic research and improve drug discovery and development.

Pharmaceuticals, hormones, and other organic wastewater contaminants in U.S. streams, 1999-2000: a national reconnaissance.

TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.

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.

Environmentally persistent alkylphenolic compounds are estrogenic

TL;DR: It is shown that a number of alkylphenolic compounds, used in a variety of commercial products and found in river water, are estrogenic in fish, birds, and mammals and capable of stimulating vitellogenin gene expression in trout hepatocytes, gene transcription in transfected cells, and the growth of breast cancer cell lines.
