Pregnane X receptor (PXR) plays an important role in detoxifying xenobiotics and drugs. In this issue of the JCI, Pascussi et al. provide convincing evidence that PXR can also induce vitamin D deficiency and bone disease because of its ability to cross-talk with the vitamin D-responsive gene that catabolizes 25-hydroxy-vitamin D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This cross-talk behavior has important health ramifications and can be mitigated through the identification and treatment of PXR-induced vitamin D deficiency.
孕烷X受体(PXR)在对外源化学物质和药物进行解毒过程中发挥着重要作用。在本期《临床研究杂志》中,帕斯库西等人提供了令人信服的证据,表明PXR还可导致维生素D缺乏和骨病,因为它能够与分解代谢25-羟基维生素D和1,25-二羟基维生素D的维生素D反应基因发生相互作用。这种相互作用行为具有重要的健康影响,可通过识别和治疗PXR诱导的维生素D缺乏来减轻。
