17761204 Fried KW, Bazzi R, Levy Lopez W, Corsten C, Schramm KW, Bell DR, Rozman KK: Relationship between aryl hydrocarbon receptor-affinity and the induction of EROD activity by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorinated phenothiazine and derivatives. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol. 2007 Oct 15;224(2):147-55. Epub 2007 Jul 19.

Reported herein are semi-empirical calculations of the molecular geometry of TCDD, TCPT, TCPT-sulfoxide (TCPT-O), TCPT-sulfone (TCPT-O (2)), N-methyl-TCPT (Me-TCPT), N-methyl-TCPT-sulfoxide (Me-TCPT-O), and N-methyl-TCPT-sulfone (Me-TCPT-O (2)), the characterization of their AhR binding affinity in rat hepatic cytosol, and their ability to induce EROD activity in a rat hepatoma cell line in vitro.

In the xenobiotic biotransformation pathway, EE2 produced a significant increase of aryl hydrocarbon receptor-alpha (AhRalpha) at day 3 in the group given 5 ng EE2/L and AhRbeta was decreased at the same concentration at day 7.

In the xenobiotic biotransformation pathway, TBT produced apparent increase and decrease at respective low and high concentration, on aryl hydrocarbon receptor-alpha (AhRalpha), AhR nuclear translocator (ARNT) and AhR repressor (AhRR) mRNA.

To evaluate their practicability for the investigation of xenobiotic metabolism in human skin we compared three types of organotypic skin models, acquired by purchase from different manufacturers, to a self-constructed in-house model with regard to cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzyme expression on mRNA and protein level and the inducibility of these enzymes by aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands.
