Porcine constitutive androstane receptor (CAR; NR1I3) was cloned and compared for homology and activity with mouse and human CAR (mCAR, hCAR). Porcine CAR (pgCAR) was 86% and 75% homologous to hCAR at the nucleotide and protein levels. Five alternatively spliced variants of pgCAR were identified, each of which generated a truncated protein product. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analyses showed that these variants were present in pig liver cDNA samples from 4.61% to 9.20% of total pgCAR. pgCAR and hCAR responded similarly to more ligands than did hCAR and mCAR. The known hCAR agonist (6-(4-chlorophenyl)imidazo[2,1-b][1,3]thiazole-5-carbaldehyde-O-(3,4-dichlorobenzyl)oxime (CITCO) activated pgCAR, while the murine agonist 1,4 bis[2-(3,5-dichloropyridyloxy)] benzene (TCPOBOP) had no effect. 5beta-dihydrotestosterone was identified as a novel inverse agonist of both pgCAR and hCAR. pgCAR splice variant 2 (SV2) had a dose-dependent dominant negative effect on the activity of wild-type pgCAR in dual luciferase assays. SV2 had no effect against pgPXR (pregnane X receptor) or pgFXR (farnesoid X receptor) activity when using PXR- or FXR-specific reporters.
