Liver X Receptor-α Gene Expression Is Positively Regulated by Thyroid Hormone
13 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
The nuclear oxysterol receptors, liver X receptors (LXRs), and thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) cross talk mutually in many aspects of transcription, sharing the same DNA binding site (direct repeat-4) with identical geometry and polarity. In the current study, we demonstrated that thyroid hormone (T(3)) up-regulated mouse LXR-alpha, but not LXR-beta, mRNA expression in the liver and that cholesterol...
