The Aryl hydrocarbon receptor is activated by modified low-density lipoprotein
16 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Endogenous activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is required for normal vascular development. This biology led us to investigate the interplay between the AHR and vascular physiology by using an in vitro model of fluid shear stress. Using this system, we show that fluid flow induces a robust AHR-mediated increase in CYP1 expression. Furthermore, we demonstrate that incubation with sheared bovine or...
