摘要
Human constitutive androstane ( or active) receptor ( hCAR), a member of the nuclear receptor superfamily NR1I3, regulates the expression of several genes that are mainly involved in the metabolism of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds ( e. g., CYP2B6, CYP3A4, and UGT1A1). We found four novel splice variants in the ligand-binding domain (LBD) of hCAR (NCBI reference sequence, NM_ 005122; designated SV0 herein). The variants designated SV1 and SV2 contained in-frame 12- and 15-base pair ( bp) insertions, respectively. SV3 carried both of the insertions, and SV4 contained an in-frame 117-bp deletion. The insertion site of SV1 is located in the alpha6 helix of hCAR LBD, which makes up the ligand-binding cavity, and that of SV2 is located in the highly conserved loop between helices alpha8 and alpha9. SYBR Green real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis of each splice variant revealed that the hepatic expression of SV2 was almost comparable with that of SV0 ( approximately 40%), whereas other variants accounted for 6 to 10% of the total hCAR transcripts. In the reporter gene assays employing the phenobarbital-responsible enhancer module (PBREM) from CYP2B6 and UGT1A1 genes, the splice variants, except for SV1, were inactive, whereas SV1 transactivated the CYP2B6 PBREM but not the UGT1A1 PBREM reporter. A nuclear translocation assay in rat hepatocytes revealed that all the splice variants lack the responsiveness toward phenobarbital and 6-(4-chlorophenyl) imidazo[2,1-b][1,3] thiazole-5-carbaldehyde O-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl) oxime (CITCO) in terms of the ligand-dependent nuclear translocation. Further characterization, such as the identification of specific ligands, will help elucidate physiological implication of these hCAR splice variants.
