The pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor that acts as a xenobiotic sensor, responding to compounds of foreign origin, including pharmaceutical compounds, environmental contaminants, and natural products, to induce transcriptional events that regulate drug detoxification and efflux pathways. As such, the PXR is thought to play a key role in protecting the host from xenobiotic exposure. More recently, the PXR has been reported to regulate the expression of innate immune receptors in the intestine and modulate inflammasome activation in the vasculature. In the current study, we report that activation of the PXR in primed macrophages triggers caspase-1 activation and interleukin-1β release. Mechanistically, we show that this response is nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat, and pyrin domain-containing 3-dependent and is driven by the rapid efflux of ATP and P2X purinoceptor 7 activation following PXR stimulation, an event that involves pannexin-1 gating, and is sensitive to inhibition of Src-family kinases. Our findings identify a mechanism whereby the PXR drives innate immune signaling, providing a potential link between xenobiotic exposure and the induction of innate inflammatory responses.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008024 Ligands A molecule that binds to another molecule, used especially to refer to a small molecule that binds specifically to a larger molecule, e.g., an antigen binding to an antibody, a hormone or neurotransmitter binding to a receptor, or a substrate or allosteric effector binding to an enzyme. Ligands are also molecules that donate or accept a pair of electrons to form a coordinate covalent bond with the central metal atom of a coordination complex. (From Dorland, 27th ed) Ligand
D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D000071199 NLR Family, Pyrin Domain-Containing 3 Protein An NLR protein that contains an N-terminal PYRIN DOMAIN and ATP-binding site and 9 C-terminal LEUCINE-rich repeats; it is expressed primarily by MACROPHAGES. It is a core component of the INFLAMMASOME and directs its assembly in response to pathogen infection and damage-associated stimuli. Mutations in the NLRP3 gene are associated with FAMILIAL COLD AUTOINFLAMMATORY SYNDROME.

D000077297 Pregnane X Receptor Steroid receptor that binds and is activated by variety of endogenous compounds and XENOBIOTICS. It binds the response element in promoters of genes that encode CYTOCHROME P450 3A4 and ATP BINDING CASSETTE TRANSPORTER, SUBFAMILY B, MEMBER 1 proteins, and also activates the transcription of multiple genes involved in the metabolism and secretion of potentially harmful xenobiotics, drugs, and endogenous compounds. It is activated by the antibiotic RIFAMPICIN and various plant metabolites, such as hyperforin, guggulipid, colupulone, and ISOFLAVONES.
