Selected publications
Flavonoids: structure–function and mechanisms of action and opportunities for drug development
Toxicological Research · 2021 · 162 citations
1st authorCorrespondingThe Paradoxical Roles of Orphan Nuclear Receptor 4A (NR4A) in Cancer
Molecular Cancer Research · 2020 · 142 citations
1st authorCorrespondingdouble knockout mice rapidly develop acute myelocytic leukemia, suggesting that these receptors exhibit tumor suppressor activity. Treatment of leukemia and most lymphoma cells with drugs that induce expression of NR4A1and NR4A3 enhances apoptosis, and this represents a potential clinical application for treating this disease. In contrast, most solid tumor-derived cell lines express high levels of NR4A1 and NR4A2, and both receptors exhibit pro-oncogenic activities in solid tumors, whereas NR4A3…
Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) Ligands as Selective AHR Modulators (SAhRMs)
International Journal of Molecular Sciences · 2020 · 127 citations
1st authorCorrespondingThe aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) was first identified as the intracellular protein that bound and mediated the toxic effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD, dioxin) and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs). Subsequent studies show that the AhR plays an important role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and in pathophysiology, and there is increasing evidence that the AhR is an important drug target. The AhR binds structurally diverse compounds, including pharmaceuticals, phytochemicals…
