Nuclear receptors play an important role in bone metabolism. In bone cells, the vitamin D receptor (VDR) and the steroid and xenobiotic receptor (SXR) are activated by vitamin D and vitamin K2, respectively. VDR and SXR are the NR1I subfamily members of nuclear receptors. We speculated that the constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), the third member of the NR1I subfamily, also could be implicated in the regulation of bone metabolism. Therefore, we analyzed expression of CAR mRNA in osteoblasts and then examined association of a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the human CAR gene at intron 2 (IVS2-99C>T, rs2502815) with bone mineral density (BMD).
