摘要
Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are potent ligands for the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). High-density oligonucleotide microarrays were used to generate global gene expression profiles of wild-type and Ahr-/- vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) from mouse aorta. To determine whether there are signaling pathways other than the AHR involved in B[a]P metabolism, wild-type and AHR knockout (Ahr -/- SMCs were exposed to B[a]P. Two signaling pathways, represented by TGF-β2 and IGF-1, were identified as potential candidates of an AHR alternate pathway for cells to respond to B[a]P. The wild-type SMCs responded similarly to B[a]P and TCDD in the regulation of a small set of common genes known to respond to the activated AHR (e.g., glutamine S-transferase). However, wild-type SMCs responded in a way that involves many additional genes, suggesting that a very divergent cellular response may be involved when SMCs are exposed to the two classic inducers of the AHR. In contrast, many more genes in the Ahr-/- cells responded similarly to B[a]P and TCDD, including Cyp1b1, than responded differently, which indicates that eliminating the AHR is effective for investigating potential alternate cellular mechanisms that respond to B[a]P and TCDD.
