Expression of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor and Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator Messenger Ribonucleic Acids and Proteins in Rat and Human Testis [PDF]
Dioxins, e.g. 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), use the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)/aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) receptor complex to mediate their toxic actions. In addition to interaction with environmental pollutants, several transcription factors, steroid receptors, and growth factors are capable interacting ...

In Huh7 cells, HIF‐1α is essential as it maintains the expression of proteins involved in glycolysis and steroid/cholesterol biosynthesis both under normoxia and hypoxia. On the other hand, in HeLa cells, these pathways are induced by HIF‐1α only under hypoxia.

ARNT is a potential direct HIF-1 target gene in human Hep3B hepatocellular carcinoma cells
Background The transcription factor aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) participates in the hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) pathway which senses a decline in cellular oxygen tension.

An increase in reactive oxygen species by deregulation of ARNT enhances chemotherapeutic drug-induced cancer cell death. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Unique characteristics of tumor microenvironments can be used as targets of cancer therapy. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) is an important mediator of tumor progression.

Recruitment of the NCoA/SRC-1/p160 Family of Transcriptional Coactivators by the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor/Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Nuclear Translocator Complex [PDF]
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor complex heterodimeric transcription factor, comprising the basic helix-loop-helix-Per-ARNT-Sim (bHLH-PAS) domain aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) and aryl hydrocarbon receptor nuclear translocator (ARNT) proteins, mediates the toxic effects of TCDD (2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin).

Dioxin Exposure Blocks Lactation Through a Direct Effect on Mammary Epithelial Cells Mediated by the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Repressor [PDF]
In mammals, lactation is a rich source of nutrients and antibodies for newborn animals. However, millions of mothers each year experience an inability to breastfeed.

Npas4 is activated by melatonin, and drives the clock gene Cry1 in the ovine pars tuberalis [PDF]
Seasonal mammalsintegrate changes in the duration of nocturnal melatonin secretion to drive annual physiologic cycles. Melatonin receptors within the proximal pituitary region, the pars tuberalis (PT), are essential in regulating seasonal neuroendocrine ...

Leveraging extracellular vesicle biology for novel tests and therapeutics for kidney fibrosis
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are bilipid membrane‐encased nanoparticles that play critical roles as cell‐to‐cell messengers and waste management mechanisms. EVs cargos can be leveraged as biomarkers to develop minimally invasive tests for kidney fibrosis and guide personalised mechanism‐driven care.

Signaling via the bHLH-PAS proteins AhR and HIF [PDF]
This thesis concerns some mechanistic properties of the basic helix-loop-helix/PAS (bHLH-PAS) factors aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α). The bHLH-PAS family of proteins is a family of factors that controls

BMAL1 Drives Cisplatin Resistance in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer Via Lactate‐MRP1 Signaling Pathway
The drug cisplatin induces BMAL1 expression through AKT signaling in response to cisplatin‐induced oxidative stress. BMAL1 activates HIF‐1α‐mediated metabolic reprogramming and lactate production, which in turn activates the TAZ/c‐Jun/Snail complex to upregulate drug efflux pump MRP1, initiating and sustaining chemoresistance. ABSTRACT Lung cancer, the
