In recent years, an increasing number of emerging environmental pollutants have been identified, garnering widespread attention. Many of these pollutants are characterized by their environmental persistence and bioaccumulation, which pose significant threats to both the ecological environment and human health. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying their effects remain unclear, limiting our ability to assess their adverse impacts and develop effective protective measures. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor traditionally known to be activated by dioxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is involved in the metabolism of exogenous chemicals. Recent research has shown that the AHR can be activated by a diverse range of exogenous and endogenous chemicals and participates in various biological processes. Studies have demonstrated that AHR mediates the toxic effects of emerging environmental pollutants such as perfluorooctane sulfonamide (PFOSA) and N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine quinone (6PPDQ). This paper provided an overview of the AHR activation and the toxic effects induced by emerging environmental pollutants, with a focus on how the AHR activation interacts with multiple signaling pathways. The significance of these interactions in environmental risk assessment and toxicological research was also discussed. We aim to provide a scientific basis for environmental protection and risk assessment.

Objective To investigate the effects of an adeno-associated virus(AAV2)vector expressing secretory transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β)type Ⅱ receptor(sTβRⅡ)extracellular domain-IgG2a Fc fusion protein(sTβRⅡ-Fc)on proliferation and migration of triple-negative murine breast cancer 4T1 cells in mice.Methods The pAAV-sTβRⅡ-Fc vector expressing sTβRⅡ-Fc fusion protein constructed by molecular cloning,the capsid protein-expressing vector pAAV2 and the helper vector were co-transfected into HEK 293T cells to prepare the recombinant AAV2-sTβRⅡ virus,which was purified by density gradient centrifugation with iodixanol.Western blotting was used to examine the effects of AAV-sTβRⅡ virus on Smad2/3 phosphorylation in 4T1 cells and on expression levels of E-cadherin,vimentin and p-Smad2/3 in 4T1 cell xenografts in mice.BALB/c mice bearing subcutaneous xenografts of luciferase-expressing 4T1 cells received intravenous injections of AAV-sTβRⅡ virus,AAV-GFP virus or PBS(n=6)through the tail vein,and the proliferation and migration of 4T1 cells were analyzed with in vivo imaging.Ki67 expression in the tumor tissues and sTβRⅡ protein expressions in mouse livers were detected with immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining,and tumor metastases in the vital organs were examined with HE staining.Results The recombinant pAAV-sTβRⅡ-Fc vector successfully expressed sTβRⅡ in HEK 293T cells.Infection with AAV2-sTβRⅡ virus significantly reduced TGF-β1-induced Smad2/3 phosphorylation in 4T1 cells and effectively inhibited proliferation and lung metastasis of 4T1 xenografts in mice(P<0.05).In the tumor-bearing mice,intravenous injection of AAV-sTβRⅡ virus significantly increased E-cadherin expression,reduced vimentin and Ki67 protein expressions and Smad2/3 phosphorylation level in the tumor tissues(P<0.05 or 0.01),and induced liver-specific sTβRⅡ expression without causing body weight loss or heart,liver,spleen or kidney pathologies.Conclusion The recombinant AVV2 vector encoding sTβRⅡ extracellular domain is capable of blocking the TGF-β signaling pathway to inhibit the proliferation and lung metastasis of 4T1 cells in mice.
