Estrogen receptor and aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling pathways

Estrogen receptors (ERs) and the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) are ligand activated transcription factors and members of the nuclear receptor and bHLH-PAS superfamilies, respectively. AhR is involved in xenobiotic metabolism and in mediating the toxic effects of dioxin-like compounds. Crosstalk has been observed among AhR and nuclear receptors, but has been most well studied with respect to E...

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor and lung cancer.

The leading cause of lung cancer is exposure to cigarette smoke and other environmental pollutants, which include formaldehyde, acrolein, benzene, dioxin, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). PAHs and dioxins are exogenous ligands that directly bind to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a transcription factor that activates xenobiotic metabolism, histone modification (an important ste...

A constitutively active dioxin/aryl hydrocarbon receptor induces stomach tumors.

The dioxin/aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) functions as a ligand-activated transcription factor regulating transcription of a battery of genes encoding xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Known receptor ligands are environmental pollutants including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polychlorinated dioxins. Loss-of-function (gene-disruption) studies in mice have demonstrated that the AhR is inv...

An aryl hydrocarbon receptor conformation acts as the functional core of nuclear dioxin signaling.

DNA-complexed heterodimers of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) with the Ah receptor nuclear translocator (Arnt) are the molecular switches for nuclear signaling of 2,3,7, 8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). AhR-Arnt heterodimers regulate genes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics or fatty acids and various genes important for growth and differentiation. In this report several potent m...

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor activation by cAMP vs. dioxin: divergent signaling pathways.

Even before the first vertebrates appeared on our planet, the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) gene was present to carry out one or more critical life functions. The vertebrate AHR then evolved to take on functions of detecting and responding to certain classes of environmental toxicants. These environmental pollutants include polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (e.g., benzo[a]pyrene), polyhalogena...
