Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) Mediate Transcriptional Activation of the ATP Binding Cassette Transporter ABCB6 Gene via the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AhR)

Abstract: Background: ABCB6 is an ATP binding cassette transporter that regulates heme biosynthesis. Results: Polyaromatic hydrocarbons increase heme synthesis in liver by activating ABCB6 expression via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. Conclusion: ABCB6 is required for PAH-mediated induction of heme biosynthesis. Significance: ABCB6 expression might be clinically relevant in polyaromatic hydrocarbon-induced porphyrias and carcinogenesis.
