Abstract

|
|
TCDD (2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) and related halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons elicit a diverse spectrum of biochemical and toxic responses in laboratory animals and mammalian cells in culture. Toxicity and carcinogenicity of TCDD is well established but the molecular mechanism is still poorly understood. Here, we found the noble responsive genes to TCDD using the differential display analysis. Treatment of HepG2 cells with TCDD showed a significantly different mRNA expression pattern from the untreated cells in differential display analysis. The differentially displayed bands were isolated and used as probes in dot blot and Northern blot analyses. Of thirty-five isolated differentially displayed bands, only two bands were confirmed as positive in dot blot and Northern blot analyses. The nucleotides sequences of these clones were analyzed and the search of Genebank database revealed that one clone is highly homologous with RanBP2 (Ras-related nuclear protein binding protein2; 92%) and the other is an unknown gene. RanBP2 is a nucleoporin with SUMO E3 ligase activity that functions in both nucleocytoplasmic transport and mitosis and its role as a novel tumor suppressor has been recently proposed. Thus, these results may suggest the clue elucidating the toxic mechanism of TCDD through RanBP2.
