RNA-sequencing of 14 diverse mouse strains treated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)


ABSTRACT: The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor in the PAS superfamily of environmental sensors that is linked to several metabolic diseases, including non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Much remains unknown regarding the impact of genetic variation in AHR-driven disease, as past studies have focused on a small number of inbred strains. Recently, the presence of a wide-range of interindividual variability amongst humans was reported in response to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), the prototypical ligand of the AHR. In this study, a panel of 14 diverse mouse strains were exposed to TCDD for 10 days to characterize the AHR-mediated response across genetic backgrounds. In this study, responses to TCDD are heavily-dependent on genetic background. While mice carry one of four Ahr alleles that impact the AHR-mediated responses, we observed significant intra-allelic variability suggesting the presence of novel genetic modifiers of AHR signaling. A regression-based approach was used to scan for genes regulated by the AHR and/or associated with TCDD-induced phenotypes. The approach identified seven genes, 2 of which are novel, that are likely regulated by the AHR based on association with hepatic TCDD burden (p≤0.05). Finally, we identified a gene, Dio1, which was associated with change in percent body fat across the diverse set of strains (p≤0.05). Overall, the results in this study exemplify the power of genetics-based approaches in identifying novel genes that are putatively regulated by the AHR.
