Abstract

Cytochromes P450 (CYP) constitute the major enzymatic system for metabolism of xenobiotics. Here we demonstrate that transcriptional activation of CYPs by the drug-sensing nuclear receptors pregnane X receptor, constitutive androstane receptor, and the chicken xenobiotic receptor (CXR) can be modulated by endogenous cholesterol and bile acids. Bile acids induce the chicken drug-activated CYP2H1 via CXR, whereas the hydroxylated metabolites of bile acids and oxysterols inhibit drug induction. The cholesterol-sensing liver X receptor competes with CXR, pregnane X receptor, or constitutive androstane receptor for regulation of drug-responsive enhancers from chicken CYP2H1, human CYP3A4, or human CYP2B6, respectively. Thus, not only cholesterol 7 alpha-hydroxylase (CYP7A1), but also drug-inducible CYPs, are diametrically affected by these receptors. Our findings reveal new insights into the increasingly complex network of nuclear receptors regulating lipid homeostasis and drug metabolism.
