“…In primary human hepatocytes, exposure to certain NR ligands resulted in enhanced ABCG2 mRNA expression, strongly suggesting the regulatory role of the PXR and CAR pathways ( Jigorel et al, 2006). In a following study, a CAR/RXRα-binding motif in the distal promoter of ABCG2 was identified and, interestingly, ABCG2 transactivation through this motif was found to occur via CAR but not PXR binding (Benoki, Yoshinari, Chikada, Imai, & Yamazoe, 2012). In contrast, it has been reported that LXR agonists do not activate the transcription of ABCG2 either in the …”
