CAR-dependent induction of Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11 by PB.

(A) Pooled liver microsomes from huPXR, PXR KO, huCAR, CAR KO, huPXR/huCAR, PXR KO/CAR KO, huPXR/CAR KO, PXR KO/huCAR, and WT mice (n = 3) treated with either PB or vehicle were analyzed for Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11 expression by immunoblotting. 5 μg protein was loaded onto a 7.5% SDS-PAGE gel, and membranes were incubated with polyclonal Cyp2b10 and Cyp3a11 antibodies. (B) PROD and BQ assays were performed to investigate Cyp2b and Cyp3a activities, respectively, in pooled mouse liver microsomes from each mouse line indicated above (n = 3 mice). Values are expressed as mean ± SD; n = 3 mice for all experiments. Student’s t test (2-sided) was performed. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, statistically different from control.
