The ligand-activated aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is known to modulate many genes in a highly cell-specific manner, either directly or indirectly via secondary effects. In contrast, little is known about the effects of AHR deficiency on gene expression balance. We compared the transcriptome of CD4 T cells from AHR-/- mice and wild-type mice; 390 genes, many of them immunotypic, were deregulated in AHR-deficient CD4 cells. TCDD-induced transcriptome changes correlated with the AHR expression level in immune cells. However, there was little overlap in AHR-dependent transcripts found in T lineage cells or dendritic cells. Our results demonstrate flexible gene accessibility for the AHR in immune cells. The idea of a universal battery of AHR-responsive genes is not tenable.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D013329 Structure-Activity Relationship The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups. Relationship, Structure-Activity,Relationships, Structure-Activity,Structure Activity Relationship,Structure-Activity Relationships
D014158 Transcription, Genetic The biosynthesis of RNA carried out on a template of DNA. The biosynthesis of DNA from an RNA template is called REVERSE TRANSCRIPTION. Genetic Transcription
D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.

D018336 Receptors, Aryl Hydrocarbon Cytoplasmic proteins that bind certain aryl hydrocarbons, translocate to the nucleus, and activate transcription of particular DNA segments. AH receptors are identified by their high-affinity binding to several carcinogenic or teratogenic environmental chemicals including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons found in cigarette smoke and smog, heterocyclic amines found in cooked foods, and halogenated hydrocarbons including dioxins and polychlorinated biphenyls. No endogenous ligand has been identified, but an unknown natural messenger with a role in cell differentiation and development is suspected.
