Discovery and implementation of transcriptional biomarkers of synthetic LXR agonists in peripheral blood cells
BACKGROUND: LXRs (Liver X Receptor α and β) are nuclear receptors that act as ligand-activated transcription factors. LXR activation causes upregulation of genes involved in reverse cholesterol transport (RCT), including ABCA1 and ABCG1 transporters, in macrophage and intestine. Anti-atherosclerotic...
