Male and Female Mice Show Significant Temporal Differences in Hepatic Transcriptomic Response to TCDD

ABSTRACT: 2,3,7,8M-bM-^@M-^Stetrachlorodibenzo-p-dixion (TCDD) is a dioxin congener that causes a wide range of toxic effects in rodent species. Previous studies discovered that males and females of the same species display different sensitivities to TCDD exposure. Although it is now clear that most TCDD-induced toxic outcomes are mediated by the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR), a transcription factor, the mechanism of sex-specific responses to TCDD remains largely unknown. To understand the differential sensitivity in male and female animals, we profiled the hepatic transcriptomic responses to single doses of TCDD (125, 250, 500, or 1000 M-BM-5g/kg) in male and female C57BL6 mice. Several key findings were revealed by our study: 1) transcriptomic profiles varied largely between sexes at all dos
