Recombinant aryl hydrocarbon receptors for bioassay of aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands in transgenic tobacco plants [PDF]
SummaryDioxin residues widely contaminate soil and agricultural products at low concentrations and may accumulate in organisms at the top of food chains owing to their physicochemical properties. In this study, we have developed novel, dioxin‐inducible, reporter gene expression systems regulated by recombinant aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs).

Subtype‐specific enhancer RNAs define transcriptional regulators and prognosis in breast cancers
This study employed machine learning methodologies to perform the subtype‐specific classification of RNA‐seq data sets, which are mapped on enhancers from TCGA‐derived breast cancer patients. Their integration with gene expression (referred to as ProxCReAM eRNAs) and chromatin accessibility profiles has the potential to identify lineage‐specific and ...

Dendritic cells (DCs) are mediators between innate and adaptive immunity and vital in initiating and modulating antigen-specific immune responses. The most important site for induction of tolerance is the gut mucosa, where TGF-β, retinoic acid, and aryl ...

Hijacking emergency granulopoiesis: Neutrophil ontogeny and reprogramming in cancer
Neutrophils are highly plastic innate immune cells; their functions in cancer extend beyond the tumour microenvironment. This Review summarises current understanding of neutrophil maturation and heterogeneity and highlights tumour‐induced granulopoiesis as a systemic programme that expands immature, immunosuppressive neutrophils via tumour‐derived ...

Aryl hydrocarbon receptors in osteoclast lineage cells are a negative regulator of bone mass.
Aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs) play a critical role in various pathological and physiological processes. Although recent research has identified AhRs as a key contributor to bone metabolism following studies in systemic AhR knockout (KO) or transgenic

Steroid Hormones and Endocrine Disruptors: Recent Advances in Receptor–Mediated Actions [PDF]
It has been accepted that receptor-mediated action of steroid hormones depends on both the receptor and the hormonal level. The mechanism of transcription by steroid receptors is mediated by cofactors, which function as co-activators or co ...
