While it has long been believed that benzenes and naphthalenes are unable to activate the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) because they are poor ligands, we recently reported that these quinoid metabolites upregulated cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) in Hepalcic7 cells (Abiko et al., 2015). In the current study, AhR activation, measured with a bioluminescence-based cell free assay, was induced by 1,2-naphthoquinone (1,2-NQ), a metabolite of naphthalene. Consistent with this, 1,4-benzoquinone (1,4-BQ), tert-butyl-1,4-BQ, and 1,4-NQ, as well as 1,2-NQ, all electrophilic mono- and bi-cyclic quinones, upregulated CYP1A1 mRNA and protein in HepG2 cells, whereas their parent aromatic hydrocarbons had little effect. Furthermore, immunofluorescence analysis confirmed that these quinones enhanced translocation of AhR to the nucleus.
