1. Introduction

•2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) has been classified as a group I carcinogen by IARC

• TCDD exerts most (if not all) toxic effects through mechanisms involving the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR)

• TCDD acts as a potent liver tumour promoter in two- step rodent carcinogenesis models (Campbell et al., 1992)

• when applied to rodents without pre-treatment with an initiator, TCDD also leads to increased cancer incidences (Kociba et al., 1976)

4. (Wörner

In rat hepatocytes, TCDD leads to hyper-phosphorylation

of p53. This effect shows the

same concentration-response characteristics as CYP1A1 induction.

Summary

I

•The carcinogenicity of TCDD in rat liver is due (in part) to tumor promotion. Suppression of apoptosis seems to play a key role in this effect. A possible mechanism of suppression of apoptosis in irradiated rat hepatoyctes

in culture involves

suppression of the p53 response and a concomitant hyper- phosphorylation

of p53 (and other targets?)

•TCDD inhibits UV-induced apoptosis in a caspase-independent (!) manner

•TCDD-mediated suppression of apoptosis requires AhR activation and protein biosynthesis

Schrenk 2010

Summary

II •In rodent liver TCDD can lead to increased oxidative DNA damage measured as 8-

oxo-dG. In rats the latter effect is strongly estrogen-dependent.

•In rat hepatocytes

in primary culture TCDD enhances formation of ROS and 8-oxo- DG. In human HepG2 cells this effect is not

observed, which is in accordance with the much lower level of CYP1A1 induction.

•In transgenic mice bearing a constitutively active AHR, hepatic 8-oxo-dG levels were significantly higher than in wildtype

C57Bl6 mice, whereas EROD activity was not markedly increased (!).

In hepatoma

cell lines and rat hepatocytes

estradiol

did not significantly enhance TCDD-induced ROS formation. However, in rat hepatocytes

estradiol

only increased ROS formation significantly.

•In Supersomes, human CYP1A1 was the most effective source of ROS. Addition of estradiol

reduced ROS formation.

Schrenk 2010

•In rats, the carcinogenicity of techniocal

PCB mixtures is mainly, if not exclusively, due to DL-

compounds. •In mice, treatment with highly purified

PCBs 52,

101, 138, 153, and 180 induced CYP2B mRNAs indicating CAR activation ‘signature’, while PCB 28 did not. PCB 138 only (besides the DL-PCB 126) also seems to induce AhR-regulated CYP1A1.•In summary, PCBs 52 and 180 also have no DL properties in rats. PCB 138 is a ‘mixed’

DL/NDL-PCB

while PCB 28 is none of both in the mouse.
