title: Activation of constitutive androstane receptor under the effect of hepatocarcinogenic aminoazo dyes in mouse and rat liver.
abstract: Selective increase of DNA-binding activity of constitutive androstane receptor was detected in rat and mouse liver in response to aminoazo dyes exhibiting hepatocarcinogenic activity for these species (ortho-aminoazotoluene for mice and 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminobenzene for rats). Competition of azo dyes with 3H-5alpha-androst-16-ene-3alpha-ol (a well-known ligand of constitutive androstane receptor) for binding to liver cell cytosol proteins was studied. Ortho-aminoazotoluene and 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminobenzene were better competitors for cytosol proteins from mouse and rat liver, respectively.
