Project description:HepG2 cell lines were treated with TCDD, as an activator for the TF AhR/arnt since it is a known ligand for AhR. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a fatal disease with currently very limited beneficial therapies. MicroRNAs (miRs), which are considered to be master regulators of gene expression, have significant influence on cellular pathways and phenotype, and are de-regulated in HCC, and hence are thought to be of great therapeutic potential as novel targets. We identified hsa-miR-191 as a potential target for HCC therapy. Inhibition of this miR causes decreased cell proliferation and induction of apoptosis in vitro as well as a significant reduction of tumor mass in vivo in an orthotopic liver xenograft model. This miR was also found to be up-regulated by a dioxin, a known liver carcinogen, and was found to be a key regulator of cancer related pathways. HCC cell lines treated with TCDD and control. Although this experiment was done with dual channel, chanels are not compared, irrelevant samples were on the reciprocal channel. Sample data tables represent relevant, single channel data.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) activated complex regulates genes in response to the environmental contaminant 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). AHR has also emerged as a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of human diseases and different cancers, including breast cancer. To better understand AHR and ARNT signaling in breast cancer cells, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation linked to high throughput sequencing to identify AHR- and ARNT-binding sites across the genome in TCDD treated MCF-7 cells. We identified 2,594 AHR-bound, 1,352 ARNT-bound and 882 high confidence AHR/ARNT co-bound regions. No significant differences in the genomic distribution of AHR and ARNT were observed. Approximately 60% of the co-bound regions contained at least one core AHRE, 5'-GCGTG-3'. AHR/ARNT peak density was the highest within 1 kb of transcription start sites (TSS); however, a number of AHR/ARNT co-bound regions were located as far as 100 kb from TSS. De novo motif discovery identified a symmetrical variation of the AHRE (5'-GTGCGTG-3'), as well as FOXA1 and SP1 binding motifs. Microarray analysis identified 104 TCDD responsive genes where 98 genes were up-regulated by TCDD. Of the 104 regulated genes, 69 (66.3%) were associated with an AHR- or ARNT-bound region within 100 kb of their TSS. Overall our study identified AHR/ARNT co-bound regions across the genome, revealed the importance but not absolute requirement for an AHRE in AHR/ARNT interactions with DNA, and identified a modified AHRE motif, thereby increasing our understanding of AHR/ARNT signaling pathway.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that is regulated by environmental toxicants that function as AHR agonists such as 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). L-Type Amino Acid Transporter 1 (LAT1) is a leucine uptake transporter that is overexpressed in cancer. The regulation of LAT1 by AHR in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells (BCCs) was investigated in this report. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) revealed a significant association between TCDD-regulated genes (TRGs) and molecular transport. Overlapping the TCDD-RNA-Seq dataset in this report with a published TCDD-ChIP-seq dataset identified that LAT1 was a direct TCDD/AHR gene target. Short interfering RNA (siRNA)-directed knockdown of AHR confirmed that TCDD-stimulated increases in LAT1 mRNA and protein required AHR. TCDD-stimulated increases in LAT1 mRNA was also inhibited by the AHR antagonist CH-223191. Upregulation of LAT1 by TCDD coincided with increases in leucine uptake by MCF-7 cells in response to TCDD. Chromatin immunoprecipitation-quantitative PCR (ChIP-qPCR) assays revealed increases in AHR, AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) and p300 binding and histone H3 acetylation at an AHR binding site in the LAT1 gene in response to TCDD. In MDA-MB-231 cells, which exhibit high levels of endogenous AHR activity, the levels of endogenous LAT1 mRNA and protein were reduced in response to knockdown of AHR with AHR-siRNA. The regulation of LAT1 by AHR stimulated MDA-MB-231 proliferation. Collectively, these findings have provided a deeper mechanistic understanding of extrinsic and intrinsic regulation of LAT1 by AHR.

Project description:The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand activated transcription factor that mediates the toxic effects of the environmental contaminant, dioxin (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin; TCDD). Dioxin causes a diverse range of toxic responses, including hepatic damage and lethal wasting syndrome; however, the mechanisms of dioxin-induced toxicity are still unknown. Here we show that the loss of TCDD-inducible poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (TIPARP; ARTD14), an ADP-ribosyltransferase and AHR repressor, increases sensitivity to dioxin-induced toxicity and lethality. Tiparp-/- mice treated with a single injection of 100 mg/kg dioxin display an accelerated lethal wasting syndrome with no Tiparp-/- mice surviving beyond day 5; all Tiparp+/+ mice survived up to 30 days post treatment. Tiparp-/- mice displayed dramatic increases in liver steatosis and hepatotoxicity. At the molecular level, TIPARP selectively ADP-ribosylates AHR, but not AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT) and the Tiparp-dependent repression of AHR is reversed by the ADP-ribosylase and macrodomain containing protein MacroD1, but not MacroD2. These results describe previously unidentified roles for Tiparp, MacroD1, and ADP-ribosylation in AHR signaling, dioxin toxicity and lethality.

There were 4 treatment groups and each treatment group was done in triplicate. Gene expression changes were determine in hepatic RNA isolated from (1) corn oil treated C57BL/6;129Sv mice; (2) 30 ug/kg/bw 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin C57BL/6;129Sv mice; (3) corn oil treated C57BL/6;129Sv Tiparp-/- mice; and (4) 30 ug/kg/bw 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin C57BL/6;129Sv Tiparp-/- mice

Project description:Environmental contaminants such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), are known to cause a wide range of toxicities. The consequences of acute exposure to TCDD in rodents, and to a lesser degree in humans, can range from mild chloracne to terminal illness, such as cancer. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) plays a critical role in mediating the toxic effects of TCDD. However, the underlying mechanism of differential sensitivities to TCDD across organisms remain poorly understood, however differences in the AHR are known to play a role. To further investigate this, we profiled the transcriptomic responses in liver from TCDD sensitive or resistant mice, 19 hours following exposure to either 5 or 500 μg/kg TCDD. Analysis of transcriptomic profiles revealed several key findings: 1) TCDD sensitive C57BL/6 mice demonstrated an increased number of changes within the hepatic transcriptome than the TCDD resistant DBA/2 mice following exposure to low dose (5 μg/kg) TCDD, but this balanced out at the high dose (500 μg/kg), and the transcriptome from ratonized mice showed more changes than either C57BL/6 or DBA/2, regardless of dose; 2) mRNA abundance of the ‘AHR-core’ battery of genes was consistently perturbed in dioxin sensitive mice (C57BL/6 and rWT) in comparison to dioxin resistant mice (DBA/2), with Inmt showing significant changes in transcription only in the ratonized mouse liver and Cyp1a2 more response in non-transgenic mice (C57BL/6 and DBA/2); 3) a small subset of genes had significantly altered transcription in either the TCDD-resistant DBA/2 mouse liver (including Rpl18a, Mbd6, Onecut2 and Lipg) or the TCDD-sensitive cohorts (C57BL/6 and rWT; including Smcp, Acpp, Acot2 and Acot3). Overall, our results demonstrate considerable TCDD-induced transcriptomic differences between DBA/2 and C57BL/6 mouse lines.

Project description:Comparison of expression profiles detected inundifferemtitated HepaRG cells exposed to DMSO, TCDD for 24h. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation has been shown to stimulate proliferation, promote apoptosis or alter differentiation of adult rat liver progenitors. We investigated the impact of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-mediated AhR activation on a human model of bipotent liver progenitors, undifferentiated HepaRG cells. We used both intact undifferentiated HepaRG cells, and HepaRG cells with silenced Hippo pathway effectors, YAP1 and TAZ, which play key role(s) in tissue specific progenitor cell self-renewal and expansion, including liver, cardiac or respiratory progenitors.

Project description:Conventional biochemical and molecular techniques identified previously several genes whose expression is regulated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). We sought to map the complete spectrum of AHR-dependent genes in male adult liver using expression arrays to contrast mRNA profiles in Ahr-null mice (Ahrâ/â) with those in mice with wild-type AHR (Ahr+/+). Transcript profiles were determined both in untreated mice and in mice treated 19 h earlier with 1000 µg/kg 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). Expression of 456 ProbeSets was significantly altered by TCDD in an AHR-dependent manner, including members of the classic AHRE-I gene battery, such as Cyp1a1, Cyp1a2, Cyp1b1, and Nqo1. In the absence of exogenous ligand, AHR status alone affected expression of 392 ProbeSets, suggesting that the AHR has multiple functions in normal physiology. In Ahrâ/â mice, only 32 ProbeSets exhibited responses to TCDD, indicating that the AHR is required for virtually all transcriptional responses to dioxin exposure in liver. The flavin-containing monooxygenases, Fmo2 and Fmo3, considered previously to be uninducible, were highly induced by TCDD in an AHR-dependent manner. The estrogen receptor alpha as well as two estrogen-receptor-related genes (alpha and gamma) exhibit AHR-dependent expression, thereby extending cross-talk opportunities between the intensively studied AHR and estrogen receptor pathways. p53 binding sites are over-represented in genes down-regulated by TCDD, suggesting that TCDD inhibits p53 transcriptional activity. Overall, our study identifies a wide range of genes that depend on the AHR, either for constitutive expression or for response to TCDD. Experiment Overall Design: Mice bearing wild-type or genetically deleted AHRs were treated with corn oil vehicle or TCDD, and their livers analyzed by expression arrays.
