Metabolic Regulation by Nuclear Receptors
Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies, 10010 North Torrey Pines Road, La Jolla, CA 92037, USA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a large family of ligand-dependent transcriptional regulators that control development, reproduction, metabolism, and inflammation. Cognate ligands include fatty acids, bile acids, steroids, vitamins A and D, a...
متن کاملDerepressing Nuclear Receptors for Metabolic Adaptation
NCoR is a corepressor of several transcription factors, including the PPAR family of nuclear receptors in fat and muscle. By specifically deleting NCoR in these tissues, Li et al. and Yamamoto et al. now uncover an important role for NCoR in regulating lipid homeostasis through the coordinated control of different nuclear receptors.
متن کاملNuclear receptors in disease: the oestrogen receptors.
For several decades, it has been known that oestrogens are essential for human health. The discovery that there are two oestrogen receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta, has facilitated our understanding of how the hormone exerts its physiological effects. The ERs belong to the family of ligand-activated nuclear receptors, which act by modulating the expression of target genes. Studies of ER-knock...
متن کاملNuclear receptors and disease: androgen receptor.
The death of cells by apoptosis is a fundamental event in development and the maintenance of cell homoeostasis. The other side of the coin, however, is that excessive cell death by apoptosis or the lack of apoptosis is often the driving force of many diseases. Whereas reduced apoptosis sensitivity is a basic characteristic of many tumour cells, accelerated tissue cell death and loss of tissue f...
