Abstract Details

2007, MS, University of Cincinnati, Medicine : Toxicology (Environmental Health).
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is known primarily as a ligand-activated transcriptional activator that mediates the biologic and toxic effects of its xenobiotic ligands. AHR also has a role in cell cycle progression, and this function is accomplished in the absence of an exogenous ligand. However, the underlying mechanism is still unclear. The retinoblastoma tumor suppressor, RB, is absent or mutated in at least one-third of all human tumors. The specific mechanisms of tumor suppression by RB in discrete tissues are poorly defined. We investigated Ahr, Hdac1, Dnmt1, P15, P16, P18, P19, P21, P27, P53, Tgfβ1, Tgfβ2, Tgfβ3, Pai-1, Cyp1a1, Nqo1, Aldh3a at mRNA level in both Rbf/f and Rbf/f;Alb-Cre+ mouse liver tumor samples by real time PCR and Ahr DNA methylation status to understand the potential role of AHR in liver tumorigenesis.
