Many members of the thyroid hormone/retinoid receptor subfamily (type II nuclear receptors) function as heterodimers with the retinoid X receptor (RXR). In heterodimers which are referred to as permissive, such as peroxisome proliferator activated receptor/RXR, both partners can bind cognate ligands and elicit ligand-dependent transactivation. In contrast, the thyroid hormone receptor (TR)/RXR heterodimer is believed to be nonpermissive, where RXR is thought to be incapable of ligand binding and is often referred to as a silent partner. In this report, we used a sensitive derepression assay system that we developed previously to reexamine the TR/RXR interrelationship. We provide functional evidence suggesting that in a TR/RXR heterodimer, the RXR component can bind its ligand in vivo. Ligand binding by RXR does not appear to directly activate the TR/RXR heterodimer; instead, it leads to a (at least transient or dynamic) dissociation of a cellular inhibitor(s)/corepressor(s) from its TR partner and thus may serve to modulate unliganded TR-mediated repression and/or liganded TR-mediated activation. Our results argue against the current silent-partner model for RXR in the TR/RXR heterodimer and reveal an unexpected aspect of cross regulation between TR and RXR. 相似文献

We designed and synthesized novel retinoid X receptor (RXR)-selective antagonists bearing a carborane moiety. Compounds 8a-d or 9a-d themselves have no differentiation-inducing activity toward HL-60 cells and no inhibitory activity towards a retinoic acid receptor (RAR) agonist. However, they inhibit the synergistic activity of an RXR agonist, PA024, in the presence of Am80 on the cell differentiation of HL-60. Transactivation assay using RARs and RXRs suggested that the inhibitory activity of 9b resulted from the selective antagonism at the RXR site of RXR-RAR heterodimers. 相似文献

Activated by retinoids, metabolites of vitamin A, the retinoic acid receptors (RARs) and the retinoid X receptors (RXRs) play important roles in a wide variety of biological processes, including embryo development, homeostasis, cell proliferation, differentiation and death. In this review, we summarized the functional roles of nuclear receptor RAR/RXR heterodimers in liver physiology. Specifically, RAR/RXR modulate the synthesis and metabolism of lipids and bile acids in hepatocytes, regulate cholesterol transport in macrophages, and repress fibrogenesis in hepatic stellate cells. We have also listed the specific genes that carry these functions and how RAR/RXR regulate their expression in liver cells, providing a mechanistic view of their roles in liver physiology. Meanwhile, we pointed out many questions regarding the detailed signaling of RAR/RXR in regulating the expression of liver genes, and hope future studies will address these issues. 相似文献

The role of thyroid hormone in Xenopus metamorphosis is particularly well understood as it plays an essential role in that process. However, recent evidence suggests that thyroid hormone may play an earlier role in amphibian embryogenesis. We demonstrate that Xenopus thyroid hormone receptor beta (XTR beta) is expressed shortly after neural fold closure, and that its expression is localized to the developing retina. Retinoid X receptor gamma (RXR gamma), a potential dimerization partner for XTR beta, was also found to be expressed in the retina at early stages, and at later stages RXR gamma was also expressed in the liver diverticulum. Addition of either thyroid hormone or 9-cis retinoic acid, the ligands for XTR beta and RXR gamma, respectively, did not alter the expression of their receptors. However, the addition of thyroid hormone and 9-cis retinoic acid did alter rhodopsin mRNA expression. Addition of thyroid hormone generates a small expansion of the rhodopsin expression domain. When 9-cis retinoic acid or a combination of thyroid hormone and 9-cis retinoic acid was administered, there was a decrease in the expression domain of rhodopsin in the developing retina. These results provide evidence for an early role for XTR beta and RXR gamma in the developing Xenopus retina. 相似文献

A pair of nuclear receptors, ecdysone receptor (EcR) and ultraspiracle (USP), heterodimerize and transduce ecdysteroid signals. The EcR and its nonsteroidal ligands are being developed for regulation of transgene expression in humans, animals and plants. In mammalian cells, EcR:USP heterodimers can function in the absence of ligand, but EcR/retinoid X receptor (EcR:RXR) heterodimers require the presence of ligand for activation. The heterodimer partner of EcR can influence ligand sensitivity of EcR so that the EcR/Locusta migratoria RXR (EcR:LmRXR) heterodimers are activated at lower concentrations of ligand when compared with the concentrations of ligand required for the activation of EcR/Homo sapiens RXR (EcR:HsRXR) heterodimers. Analysis of chimeric RXRs containing regions of LmRXR and HsRXR and point mutants of HsRXR showed that the amino acid residues present in helix 9 and in the two loops on either end of helix 9 are responsible for improved activity of LmRXR. The EcR:Lm-HsRXR chimera heterodimer induced reporter genes with nanomolar concentration of ligand compared with the micromolar concentration of ligand required for activating the EcR:HsRXR heterodimer. The EcR:Lm-HsRXR chimera heterodimer, but not the EcR:HsRXR heterodimer, supported ligand-dependent induction of reporter gene in a C57BL/6 mouse model. 相似文献

The binding of thyroid hormone receptors to DNA is enhanced by heterodimerization with nuclear proteins. One such heterodimerization partner has recently been characterized as the retinoid X receptor. 9-cis-Retinoic acid has been identified as a natural ligand for retinoid X receptors, suggesting a potential receptor-mediated interaction between thyroid hormone and 9-cis-retinoic acid in the regulation of thyroid hormone-responsive genes. A transient cotransfection assay was used to test for such an interaction. When a complex thyroid hormone response element composed of both direct and inverted repeat hexamers was tested, these two ligands activated gene expression synergistically. In contrast, when the response element consisted only of directly repeated hexamers, unliganded retinoid X receptors enhanced thyroid hormone responsiveness, but 9-cis-retinoic acid induced no additional activation. The results suggest a unique mechanism to achieve differential suggest a unique mechanism to achieve differential thyroid hormone sensitivity of thyroid hormone-responsive genes within a cell. Genes with appropriate response elements will show amplification of the thyroid hormone response by 9-cis-retinoic acid in the presence of retinoid X receptors; other thyroid hormone-responsive genes will be influenced by retinoid X receptors, but not 9-cis-retinoic acid. 相似文献

High-affinity agonists for the retinoic acid X receptors (RXR) have pleotropic effects when administered to humans. These include induction of hypertriglyceridemia and hypothyroidism. We determined the effect of a novel high-affinity RXR agonist with potent antihyperglycemic effects on thyroid function of female Zucker diabetic rats and nondiabetic littermates and in db/db mice. In both nondiabetic and ZFF rats, AGN194204 causes a 70-80% decrease in thyrotropin (TSH), 3,3',5-triiodothyronine, and thyroxine (T(4)) concentrations. In the db/db mouse, AGN194204 causes a time-dependent decrease in thyroid hormone levels with the fall in TSH that was significant after 1 day of treatment preceding the fall in T(4) levels that was significant at 3 days of treatment. Treatment with AGN194204 caused an initial increase in hepatic 5'-deiodinase mRNA levels which then fell to undetectable levels by 3 days of treatment and continued to be low at 7 days of treatment. After treatment for 5 days with AGN194204, both wild-type and thyroid hormone receptor beta (TR beta(-/-))-deficient mice demonstrated a nearly 50% decrease in serum TSH and T(4) concentrations. The results suggest that a high-affinity RXR agonist with antihyperglycemic activity can cause central hypothyroidism independently of TR beta, the main mediator of hormone-induced TSH suppression. 相似文献

The molecule responsible for the enzyme activity plasma membrane (PM) aminophospholipid translocase (APLT), which catalyzes phosphatidylserine (PS) translocation from the outer to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane, is unknown in mammals. A Caenorhabditis elegans study has shown that ablation of transbilayer amphipath transporter-1 (TAT-1), which is an ortholog of a mammalian P-type ATPase, Atp8a1, causes PS externalization in the germ cells. We demonstrate here that the hippocampal cells of the dentate gyrus, and Cornu Ammonis (CA1, CA3) in mice lacking Atp8a1 exhibit a dramatic increase in PS externalization. Although their hippocampi showed no abnormal morphology or heightened apoptosis, these mice displayed increased activity and a marked deficiency in hippocampus-dependent learning, but no hyper-anxiety. Such observations indicate that Atp8a1 plays a crucial role in PM-APLT activity in the neuronal cells. In corroboration, ectopic expression of Atp8a1 but not its close homolog, Atp8a2, caused an increase in the population (V(max) ) of PM-APLT without any change in its signature parameter K(m) in the neuronal N18 cells. Conversely, expression of a P-type phosphorylation-site mutant of Atp8a1 (Atp8a1*) caused a decrease in V(max) of PM-APLT without significantly altering its K(m) . The Atp8a1*-expressing N18 cells also exhibited PS externalization without apoptosis. Together, our data strongly indicate that Atp8a1 plays a central role in the PM-APLT activity of some mammalian cells, such as the neuronal N18 and hippocampal cells. 相似文献
