We discovered a nuclear receptor element in the fatty acid synthase (FAS) promoter consisting of an inverted repeat spaced by one nucleotide (IR-1) and located 21 bases downstream of a DR-4 oxysterol liver X receptor (LXR) response element. An IR-1 is present in promoters of several genes of bile acid and lipid homeostasis and binds FXR/RXR heterodimers to mediate bile acid-dependent transcription. We show that FXR/RXRa specifically binds to the FAS IR-1 and that the FAS promoter is activated approximately ten-fold by addition of a synthetic FXR agonist in transient transfection assays. We also demonstrate that endogenous FXR binds directly to the murine FAS promoter in the hepatic genome using a tissue based chromatin immunoprecipitation procedure. Furthermore, we show that feeding wild type mice a chow diet supplemented with the natural FXR agonist chenodeoxycholic acid results in a significant induction of FAS mRNA expression. Thus, we have identified a novel IR-1 in the FAS promoter and demonstrate that it mediates FXR/bile acid regulation of the FAS gene. These findings provide the first evidence for direct regulation of lipogenesis by bile acids and also provide a mechanistic rationale for previously unexplained observations regarding bile acid control of FAS expression.
