    Abstract Introduction: Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a master xenobiotic sensor that transcriptionally controls drug metabolism and disposition pathways. PXR activation by pharmaceutical drugs, natural products, environmental toxins, etc. may decrease drug efficacy and increase drug-drug interactions and drug toxicity, indicating a therapeutic value for PXR antagonists. However, PXR's functions in physiological events, such as intestinal inflammation, indicate that PXR activators may be useful in certain disease contexts.
    Areas covered: We review the reported roles of PXR in various physiological and pathological processes including drug metabolism, cancer, inflammation, energy metabolism, and endobiotic homeostasis. We then highlight specific cellular and chemical routes that modulate PXR activity and discuss the functional consequences. Databases searched and inclusive dates: PubMed, 1 January 1980 to 10 January 2024.
    Expert opinion: Knowledge of PXR's drug metabolism function has helped drug developers produce small molecules without PXR-mediated metabolic liabilities, and further understanding of PXR's cellular functions may offer drug development opportunities in multiple disease settings.

    Abstract The hypothalamus regulates fundamental aspects of physiological homeostasis and behavior, including stress response, reproduction, growth, sleep, and feeding, several of which are affected in patients with Prader-Willi (PWS) and Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS). PWS is caused by paternal deletion, maternal uniparental disomy, or imprinting defects that lead to loss of expression of a maternally imprinted region of chromosome 15 encompassing non-coding RNAs and five protein-coding genes; SYS patients have a mutation in one of them,

    Abstract Introduction: The human liver is the center for drug metabolism and detoxification and is, therefore, constantly exposed to toxic chemicals. The loss of liver function as a result of this exposure is referred to as drug-induced liver injury (DILI). The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is the primary regulator of the hepatic drug-clearance system, which plays a critical role in mediating idiosyncratic DILI.
    Areas covered: This review is focused on common mechanisms of PXR-mediated DILI and on
    Expert opinion: DILI can be caused by many factors, and PXR is clearly linked to DILI. Although emerging data illustrate how PXR mediates DILI and how PXR activity can be modulated, many questions concerning the development of effective PXR modulators remain. Future research should be focused on determining the mechanisms regulating PXR functions in different cellular contexts.

    Abstract Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) proteins are extensively studied in multiple pathologies, including cancer. BET proteins modulate transcription of various genes, including those synonymous with cancer, such as MYC. Thus, BET inhibitors are a major area of drug development efforts. (+)-JQ1 (JQ1) is the prototype inhibitor and is a common tool to probe BET functions. While showing therapeutic promise, JQ1 is not clinically usable, partly due to metabolic instability. Here, we show that JQ1 and the BET-inactive (-)-JQ1 are agonists of pregnane X receptor (PXR), a nuclear receptor that transcriptionally regulates genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes such as CYP3A4, which was previously shown to oxidize JQ1. A PXR-JQ1 co-crystal structure identified JQ1's tert-butyl moiety as a PXR anchor and explains binding by (-)-JQ1. Analogs differing at the tert-butyl lost PXR binding, validating our structural findings. Evaluation in liver cell models revealed both PXR-dependent and PXR-independent modulation of CYP3A4 expression by BET inhibitors. We have characterized a non-BET JQ1 target, a mechanism of physiological JQ1 instability, a biological function of (-)-JQ1, and BET-dependent transcriptional regulation of drug metabolism genes.
