Abstract excerpt
This study was performed to prove our hypothesis that the metabolite(s) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) caused the activation or phosphorylation of p53 via DNA damage to suppress the liver X receptor (LXR)-mediated signal transductions as a probably more direct mechanism. We found that LXR-mediated trans-activation was inhibited by 3-methylchoranthrene (MC) and doxorubicin (Dox) in HepG2 cells carrying...
