Abstract
Studies have suggested that phenobarbital (PB) induces members of the CYP1A subfamily by both transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Using the Ahr -/- mice, we examined the induction of CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 by PB. CYP1A2 mRNA and protein were induced by PB in the null mice, suggesting that CYP1A2 is regulated by PB by a mechanism independent of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). In contrast, the regulation of CYP1A1 is highly dependent on the AHR.Entities:
