Role of Bile Acids and Bile Acid Receptors in Metabolic Regulation

TLDR
Results suggest that modulation of FXR activity and BA metabolism may open new attractive pharmacological approaches for the treatment of the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes.
Abstract
The incidence of the metabolic syndrome has taken epidemic proportions in the past decades, contributing to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The metabolic syndrome can be d...

Intestinal Crosstalk between Bile Acids and Microbiota and Its Impact on Host Metabolism.

TL;DR: Host metabolism can be affected through microbial modifications of bile acids, which lead to altered signaling via bile acid receptors, but also by altered microbiota composition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bile acids: regulation of synthesis.

TL;DR: Bile acids are able to induce FGF 19 in human hepatocytes, and the FGF19 autocrine pathway may exist in the human livers, andThe mechanism by which FXR/FGF19/FGFR4 signaling inhibits CYP7A1 remains unknown.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent advances in 2D and 3D in vitro systems using primary hepatocytes, alternative hepatocyte sources and non-parenchymal liver cells and their use in investigating mechanisms of hepatotoxicity, cell signaling and ADME.

Patricio Godoy, +94 more
TL;DR: This review encompasses the most important advances in liver functions and hepatotoxicity and analyzes which mechanisms can be studied in vitro and how closely hepatoma, stem cell and iPS cell–derived hepatocyte-like-cells resemble real hepatocytes.

Gut Microbiota in Cardiovascular Health and Disease

TL;DR: The complex interplay between microbiota, their metabolites, and the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases is highlighted to highlight the roles of gut microbiota in normal physiology and the potential of modulating intestinal microbial inhabitants as novel therapeutic targets.

Bile Acid Metabolism and Signaling

TL;DR: Enterohepatic circulation of bile acids from the liver to intestine and back to the liver plays a central role in nutrient absorption and distribution, and metabolic regulation and homeostasis.

Inflammation, Atherosclerosis, and Coronary Artery Disease

TL;DR: The evidence is recounted that atherosclerosis, the main cause of CAD, is an inflammatory disease in which immune mechanisms interact with metabolic risk factors to initiate, propagate, and activate lesions in the arterial tree.

Identification of a Nuclear Receptor for Bile Acids

TL;DR: Results presented here show that bile acids are physiological ligands for the farnesoid X receptor (FXR), an orphan nuclear receptor, which demonstrates a mechanism by which bile acid transcriptionally regulate their biosynthesis and enterohepatic transport.

Bile salt biotransformations by human intestinal bacteria.

TL;DR: The potential exists for altering the bile acid pool by targeting key enzymes in the 7α/β-dehydroxylation pathway through the development of pharmaceuticals or sequestering bile acids biologically in probiotic bacteria, which may result in their effective removal from the host after excretion.

Bile Acids: Natural Ligands for an Orphan Nuclear Receptor

TL;DR: Results provide evidence for a nuclear bile acid signaling pathway that may regulate cholesterol homeostasis and modulated interaction of FXR with a peptide derived from steroid receptor coactivator 1.

Suppression of Reactive Oxygen Species and Neurodegeneration by the PGC-1 Transcriptional Coactivators

TL;DR: Increase in PGC-1alpha levels dramatically protects neural cells in culture from oxidative-stressor-mediated death, providing a potential target for the therapeutic manipulation of these important endogenous toxins.
