Article Synopsis
  • The activation of nuclear retinoid X receptors (RXRs) involves releasing corepressors and recruiting coactivators, influencing gene activation or repression.
  • Research identified a synthetic agonist that significantly increases the binding of PGC1α (a coactivator) to RXR, unlike the natural ligand 9-cis retinoic acid.
  • The study produced three related RXR agonists with varying abilities to enhance PGC1α recruitment, suggesting potential new therapies through targeted RXR-PGC1α interactions via selective coregulator modulation.

Article Synopsis
  • The text discusses three types of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) - PPARα, PPAR(ß/)δ, and PPARγ - and their role in gene transcription regulation through interactions with retinoid X receptors (RXRs)
  • It highlights how ligand-bound PPAR/RXR complexes recruit specific coactivator proteins to gene regulatory locations, impacting gene expression, but emphasizes that each PPAR can interact with only one coactivator at a time via a specific motif (LXXLL)
  • The study investigates the recruitment of various coactivators by different PPAR agonists intended for treating nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, finding that the efficacy and potency of co

Introduction: Naringenin, a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) activator found in citrus fruits, upregulates markers of thermogenesis and insulin sensitivity in human adipose tissue. Our pharmacokinetics clinical trial demonstrated that naringenin is safe and bioavailable, and our case report showed that naringenin causes weight loss and improves insulin sensitivity. PPARs form heterodimers with retinoic-X-receptors (RXRs) at promoter elements of target genes.

2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol (2,4-DTBP) is an important commercial antioxidant and a toxic natural secondary metabolite that has been detected in humans. However, there is scant information regarding its toxicological effects. We asked whether 2,4-DTBP is a potential obesogen.

Retinoid X receptors (RXRs) present a subgroup of the nuclear receptor superfamily with particularly high evolutionary conservation of ligand binding domain. The receptor exists in α, β, and γ isotypes that form homo-/heterodimeric complexes with other permissive and non-permissive receptors. While research has identified the biochemical roles of several nuclear receptor family members, the roles of RXRs in various neurological disorders remain relatively under-investigated.
