Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR) Ligands as Selective AhR Modulators: Genomic Studies.
TL;DR: Like ligands for other receptors, AhR ligands are selective AhR modulators (SAhRMs) which exhibit variable tissue-, organ- and species-specific genomic and functional activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of aryl hydrocarbon receptor potentiates FoxM1 signaling to enhance self-renewal of colonic stem and progenitor cells.
Huajun Han,Laurie A. Davidson,Yang Yi Fan,Jennifer S. Goldsby,Grace Yoon,Un Ho Jin,Gus A. Wright,Kerstin K. Landrock,Bradley R. Weeks,Rachel C. Wright,Clinton D. Allred,Arul Jayaraman,Ivan Ivanov,Jatin Roper,Stephen Safe,Robert S. Chapkin +15 more
TL;DR: It is observed that inducible deletion of AhR in Lgr5+ stem cells increases the percentage of colonic stem cells and enhances organoid initiating capacity and growth of sorted stem and progenitor cells, while AhR activation has the opposite effect.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Promotes Colon Tumorigenesis in ApcS580/+; KrasG12D/+ Mice.
Huajun Han,Laurie A. Davidson,Martha E. Hensel,Grace Yoon,Kerstin K. Landrock,Clinton D. Allred,Arul Jayaraman,Ivan Ivanov,Stephen Safe,Robert S. Chapkin +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, in modulating oncogenic cues in the colon was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet-Host-Microbiota Interactions Shape Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Ligand Production to Modulate Intestinal Homeostasis.
TL;DR: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) as mentioned in this paper is a ligand-activated basic-helix-loop loophelix transcription factor that binds structurally diverse ligands and senses cues from environmental toxicants and physio...
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of aryl hydrocarbon receptor suppresses the response of colonic epithelial cells to IL22 signaling by upregulating SOCS3.
Huajun Han,Laurie A. Davidson,Yang-Yi Fan,Kerstin K. Landrock,Arul Jayaraman,Stephen Safe,Robert S. Chapkin +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that IL22 treatment induces the phosphorylation of STAT3, inhibits colonic organoid growth, and promotes colonic cell proliferation in vivo, and provide rationale for targeting AhR as a means of reducing colon cancer risk.
