Abstract excerpt
The mouse multidrug resistance gene family consists of three genes (mdr1, mdr2, and mdr3) encoding P-glycoprotein. We show that the expression of mdr1 is increased at the transcriptional level upon treatment of the hepatoma cell line Hepa-1c1c7 with the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC). This increase is not observed in the aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-defective TAOc1BP(r)c1 and...
