The present work's main objective was to study the effect of different high fat diets on LXRs expression (in hypothalamus and liver), and lipid profile.
Title: High-Fat Diets and LXRs Expression in Rat Liver and Hypothalamus.
We observed increased expression of LXRalpha from an early stage of nephrosis. To explore the role of increased LXRalpha in diseased kidney in vitro, NRK52E, normal kidney tubular epithelial cells, were forced to overexpress LXRalpha. These cells showed significantly lower lipid accumulation than mock cells did. In contrast, LXRbeta knockdown led to increased lipid accumulation in mock cells, and constancy in overexpre...
Title: Each liver X receptor (LXR) type has a different purpose in different situations.
Results show that hippocampal LXRbeta levels were negatively correlated with the severity of the depressive-like behaviors. LXRbeta knockdown in hippocampus produced depression-like behaviors and impaired hippocampal neurogenesis, and conversely, the LXRbeta activation improved the depression-like behaviors and reversed the impaired hippocampal neurogenesis in rats.
Title: Liver X receptor β in the hippocampus: A potential novel target for the treatment of major depressive disorder?
SHP promoted SUMO1 attachment to LXRbeta by stabilizing the E3 SUMO ligase PIAS1.
Title: Small heterodimer partner SHP mediates liver X receptor (LXR)-dependent suppression of inflammatory signaling by promoting LXR SUMOylation specifically in astrocytes.
Data show that TO901317 increased expression of both Liver X receptors (LXRalpha and LXRbeta) isoforms and its target genes: sterol response element binding protein 1c (SREBP-1c) and acetyl-coenzyme A carboxylase 1 (ACC1) in the heart of streptozotocin-diabetes.

LXR-beta has roles in regulation of endothelial cellular senescence, related to its antiatherogenic properties
Title: Endothelial cellular senescence is inhibited by liver X receptor activation with an additional mechanism for its atheroprotection in diabetes.
Data indicate that myelin alters the macrophage Phenotype by activating the liver-X-receptor beta (LXRbeta) isoform.
Title: Myelin-derived lipids modulate macrophage activity by liver X receptor activation.
Agonists for LXR-beta and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor delta induce vectorial cholesterol transport through the cholangiocyte basolateral membrane via ATP-binding cassette cholesterol transporter A1 induction.
Title: Liver X receptor β and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor δ regulate cholesterol transport in murine cholangiocytes.
LXRs may trigger neurochemical and neurophysiological responses for the control of food intake and energy expenditure through these receptors.

Elevated insulin secretion from liver X receptor-activated pancreatic beta-cells involves increased de novo lipid synthesis and triacylglyceride turnover.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
