• Description:
  NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase (NQOR. DT -diaphorase) is inducible by phenolic antioxidants via ARE-mediated gene transcription, and by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin through DRE-dependent signal transduction. In this study, we examined the interaction between ARE- and DRE-dependent pathways. Treatment with cycloheximide blocks the basal, tBHQ-inducible, and TCDD-inducible expression of NQOR in hepalclc7 cells. The inhibition is time and concentration-dependent, requires inhibition of protein synthesis. and occurs at the level of NQOR gene transcription. Examining Nrf2 protein stability reveals that Nrf2 is a labile protein; inhibition of the 26S proteasome mediated protein degradation by MG 132 enhances the induction of NQOR by both tBHQ and TCDD. Lastly, analyses of the induction in Nrf2 -/- embryonic fibroblast cells derived from Nrf2 knockout mice demonstrate that Nrf2 is required for basal, tBHQ-inducible. and TCDD-inducible expression of NQOR. These findings reveal that Nrf2 serves as a mater regulator of mouse NQOR gene expression and implicate cross-interaction between ARE- and DRE-dependent pathways in the induction of phase II enzymes.
