Abstract:
:Using chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, we studied the 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-mediated recruitment of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and several co-regulators to the CYP1A1 promoter. AhR displayed a time-dependent recruitment, reaching a peak at 75 min and maintaining promoter occupancy for the remainder of the time course. Recruitment of AhR was followed by TIF2/SRC2, which preceded CBP, histone H3 acetylation, and RNA polymerase II (RNAPII). Simultaneous recruitment to the enhancer and the TATA box region suggests the formation of a large multiprotein complex bridging the two promoter regions. Interestingly, estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha) displayed a TCDD- and time-dependent recruitment to the CYP1A1 promoter, which was increased by co-treatment with estradiol. Transfection in HuH7 human liver cells confirmed previously reported ERalpha enhancement of AhR activity. In contrast, TCDD did not induce the recruitment of ERalpha to the estrogen-responsive pS2 promoter, and after 120 min of co-treatment with estradiol, ERalpha is still present on the CYP1A1 promoter but no longer at pS2. RNA interference studies with T47D cells support a role for ERalpha in TCDD-dependent CYP1A1 expression. Our data suggest that ERalpha acts as a coregulator of AhR-mediated transcriptional activation and that the recruitment of ERalpha by AhR represents a novel mechanism AhR-ERalpha cross talk.
