Abstract
In this study, the effects of benzo[a]pyrene (BP), 3-methylcholanthrene (3MC) and tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDBF) on the expression of the cytochrome P450IA1 gene in the rat hepatoma cell line H4IIE were examined. The initial rate of increase in the steady-state concentration of the mRNA for this gene was similar with each of these inducers; however, the elevated level of this mRNA was more sustained after TCDBF treatment. Nuclear run-off assays suggested that the elevated level of the mRNA was caused principally by an effect upon transcription.Entities:
