[HTML][HTML] Syndecan-1 expression is regulated in an isoform-specific manner by the farnesoid-X receptor

Syndecan-1 (SDC1), a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan that participates in the
binding and internalization of extracellular ligands, was identified in a screen designed to
isolate genes that are regulated by the farnesoid X-receptor (FXR, NR1H4). Treatment of
human hepatocytes with either naturally occurring (chenodeoxycholic acid) or synthetic
(GW4064) FXR ligands resulted in both induction of SDC1 mRNA and enhanced binding,
internalization, and degradation of low density lipoprotein. Transient transfection assays …
