LXRs (Liver X Receptor α and β) are members of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. LXRs are oxysterol-activated transcription factors that upregulate a suite of genes that together promote coordinated mobilization of excess cholesterol from cells and from the body. The LXRs, like other nuclear receptors, are anti-inflammatory, inhibiting signal-dependent induction of pro-inflammatory genes by nuclear factor-κB, activating protein-1, and other transcription factors.

LXRα is expressed predominately in some tissues, including the liver, kidney, macrophages, and adipose tissue. However, LXRβ is ubiquitously expressed. Activating LXRα (mainly expressed in liver) results in high triglyceride production, and growing evidence suggests that selective LXRβ agonists can reduce this side effect.

    Dendrogenin A
    Dendrogenin A (DDA) is a ligand for liver X receptor (LXR), that induces the expression of sodium/iodine symporter, and increases iodine uptake. Dendrogenin A induces cell differentiation of MCF-7, and reactivates the function of lactating cells. Dendrogenin A induces the expressions of the TSH receptor, thyroid peroxidase, and thyroglobulin, and affects thyroid hormone generation. Dendrogenin A exhibits cytotoxicity in cancer cell B-CPAP and 8505c with IC50 of 4.1 and 6.2 µM. Dendrogenin A arrests the cell cycle at G0/G1 phase.
