25938935Stress-mediated post-translational modification of molecular clock proteins, brain and muscle aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator-like 1 (BMAL1) and PERIOD 2, is associated with a reduction in the activity/level of the deacetylase sirtuin 1 (SIRT1)
24885022Estrogen receptor alpha and aryl hydrocarbon receptor independent growth inhibitory effects of aminoflavone in breast cancer cells
24885022BACKGROUND: Numerous studies have implicated the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as a potential therapeutic target for several human diseases, including estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) positive breast cancer
24885022Aminoflavone (AF), an activator of AhR signaling, is currently undergoing clinical evaluation for the treatment of solid tumors
24885022Here, we examined AF's effects on two TNBC cell lines and the role of AhR signaling in AF sensitivity in these model cell lines
24885022The requirement of endogenous levels of AhR and AhR signaling for AF sensitivity was examined in MDA-MB-468 and Cal51 cells stably harboring inducible shRNA for AhR
24885022Further, we presented evidence suggesting that neither endogenous AhR expression levels nor downstream induction of AhR target genes CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 is required for AF-mediated growth inhibition in these cells
24885022CONCLUSIONS: Overall, this work provides evidence against the simplified view of AF sensitivity, and suggests that AF could mediate growth inhibitory effects in ERalpha-positive and negative breast cancer cells, as well as cells with impaired AhR expression and signaling
24727683We recently reported that indoxyl sulfate (IS), a uremic toxin, directly activates aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and generates oxidative stress through NADPH oxidase-4 in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs)
24727683In the current study, we sought to examine whether IS regulates sirtuin 1 (Sirt1) and affects endothelial senescence via AhR activation
24727683Furthermore, we evaluated the involvement of AhR in the senescence-related changes induced by IS using AhR antagonists
24727683On the other hand, the AhR antagonists restored the IS-induced decrease in the NAD() content in association with an improvement in the iNampt activity and ameliorated the senescence-related changes
24727683Taken together, these results indicate that IS impairs the iNampt-NAD()-Sirt1 system via AhR activation, which in turn promotes endothelial senescence
24727683Therefore, blocking the effects of AhR in the endothelium may provide a new therapeutic tool for treating cardio-renal syndrome
21444158Could Malassezia yeasts be implicated in skin carcinogenesis through the production of aryl-hydrocarbon receptor ligands
21444158In vitro they have the ability to synthesize potent ligands (indolo[3,2-b]carbazole, malassezin and indirubin) of the aryl-hydrocarbon receptor (AhR; synonym: dioxin receptor) when the sweat contained L-tryptophan is used as the single nitrogen source
21444158AhR is associated with carcinogenesis and the potential connection of these ubiquitous skin symbionts, and putative pathogens, with skin neoplasia should be evaluated mainly focusing on mechanisms related to the distinctive ability of the yeast to produce potent AhR ligands
21444158HYPOTHESIS: Synthesis of available pertinent data show a possible link between Malassezia produced AhR ligands and skin carcinogenesis, particularly of basal cell carcinoma (BCC)
21444158The potent AhR ligands synthesized by pathogenic Malassezia strains could contribute to tumor promotion by: modification of the UV radiation carcinogenesis, alterations in the salvage/survival of initiated tumor cells, inhibition of cell senescence, interaction with vitamin D metabolism, promotion of immune tolerance and finally pro-carcinogenic modulation of cell cycle progression and apoptosis
