| Abstract | |
In mice treated with DMBA, Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH), decreases the bone marrow (BM) and spleen cellularity. This process involves the metabolism of the PAHs that depends on the activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (Ahr).Two lines of mice genetically selected for maximal (AIRmax) or Minimal (AIRmin) local Acute Inflammatory Response (AIR) to a non immunogenic substance differs in susceptibility induced by DMBA. Examined the effects of DMBA on BM. Only AIRmin mice treated with one dose of 50mg/kg ip DMBA depletion of total BM cells. Myeloid cells and B cells from DMBA treated AIRmin mice showed impaired proliferation after in vitro GM-CSF and LPS, respectived. On the other hand, AIRmax and AIRmin mice are equally susceptible to the toxic effects of the Benzene (75mg/Kg phenol and hydroquinone during 3 days/2x day). An increase in CYP1A1 and Ahr expression in AIRmin at 12h and a suppression in AIRmax BM cells were observed after 24h of DMBA treatment. Ahr and mostly CYP1A1 mediate the toxicity of DMBA for AIRmin BM cells. (AU) | |
