Tissue-specific effects of benzo[a]pyrene and DDT on microRNA expression profile in female rats by D. S. Ushakov, T. S. Kalinina, A. S. Dorozhkova, V. Y. Ovchinnikov, L. F. Gulyaeva

“…Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the chain of events “xenobiotic administration – receptor activation – up-regulating microRNA expression – down-regulation target genes expression” as one of the key factors in the chemically-induced carcinogenesis. Using in silico methods, an analysis of the rat genome was carried out to find microRNAs putatively regulated by AhR (aryl hydrocarbon receptor) and CAR (constitutive androstane receptor), activated by BP and DDT, respectively. …”
