Air pollution is the leading cause of lung cancer after tobacco smoking, contributing to 20% all deaths. Increased risk associated with living near trafficked roads, occupational exposure diesel exhaust, indoor coal combustion and cigarette suggest that components in ambient fine particulate matter (PM2.5), such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), may be central drivers cancer. Activation aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) induces expression xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes (XMEs) increase PAH metabolism, formation reactive metabolites, oxidative stress, DNA damage mutagenesis. Lung tissues from smokers workers exposed high PM levels contain mutagenic signatures derived PAHs. However, recent findings air PM2.5 primarily development through tumor promotion cells harboring naturally acquired oncogenic mutations, thus lacking typical PAH-induced mutations. On this background, we discuss role AhR PAHs caused by focusing on promoting properties including immune system, cell proliferation survival, microenvironment, cell-to-cell communication, growth metastasis. We dichotomy patterns observed between smoking outdoor represent two ends a dose–response continuum exposure, where peripheral appears driving factor at relatively low-dose exposures PM2.5, whereas genotoxicity airways becomes increasingly more important higher encountered exposure.

Air pollution is one of the most severe environmental health hazards, and airborne nanoparticles (diameter <100 nm) are considered particularly hazardous to human health. They produced by various sources such as internal combustion engines, wood biomass burning, fuel natural gas combustion, their origin, among other parameters, determines intrinsic toxicity for reasons that not yet fully understood. Many constituents toxic or at least hazardous, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) heavy metal compounds, in addition gaseous pollutants present aerosol fraction, NOx, SO2, ozone. All these compounds can cause oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, inflammation lungs tissues, cellular organelles. Epidemiological investigations concluded may affect respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous systems. Moreover, particulate matter has been linked an increased risk lung cancer, a carcinogenic effect related DNA but inflammatory response pollutants, which release cytokines promotes proliferation pre-existing mutated cancer cells.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) possesses an extraordinary capacity to sense and respond a wide range of small-molecule ligands, ranging from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons endogenous compounds. Upon ligand binding, AHR translocates the cytoplasm nucleus, forming transcriptionally active complex with nuclear translocator (ARNT), for DNA binding initiation gene expression programs that include cellular detoxification pathways immune responses. Here, we examine molecular mechanisms governing AHR's high-affinity activation by diverse group ligands. Crystal structures AHR-ARNT-DNA complexes, bound each six established including Tapinarof, 6-formylindolo[3,2-b]carbazole (FICZ), benzo[a]pyrene (BaP), β-naphthoflavone (BNF), Indigo Indirubin, reveal unconventional mode subunit assembly intimate association between PAS-B domains ARNT. domain utilizes eight conserved residues whose dynamic rearrangements account ability bind ligands through hydrophobic π-π interactions. Our findings further structural underpinnings ligand-driven mechanism, whereby segment protein undergoes transition chaperone engagement ARNT heterodimer stabilization, generate competent assembly. results provide key information future development AHR-targeting drugs.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) signaling pathway is a complex regulatory network that plays critical role in various biological processes, including cellular metabolism, development, and immune responses. complexity of AHR arises from multiple factors, the diverse ligands activate receptor, expression level itself, its interaction with nuclear translocator (ARNT). Additionally, crosstalks repressor (AHRR) or other transcription factors pathways it can also mediate non-genomic effects. Finally, posttranslational modifications partners, epigenetic regulation target genes, as well AHR-mediated induction enzymes degrade AHR-activating may contribute to context-specificity activation. Understanding crucial for deciphering physiological pathological roles developing therapeutic strategies targeting this pathway. Ongoing research continues unravel intricacies signaling, shedding light on mechanisms controlling functions.

Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) enhances insect resistance to insecticides by regulating the detoxification network. Our previous studies have confirmed that overexpressions of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) and glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are involved in lambda-cyhalothrin Cydia pomonella. Here, we report CpAhR regulates expression GST genes, thus conferring resistance. Expression patterns indicated was highly induced exposure upregulated a lambda-cyhalothrin-resistant population. RNA interference (RNAi) decreases key resistance-related genes (CpGSTe3, CpCYP9A121, CpCYP9A122) activity enzyme, reducing tolerance lambda-cyhalothrin. Furthermore, β-naphthoflavone, novel agonist AhR, first proven be effective increasing larval These results demonstrate detoxifying activity, resulting development C.
