Gestational exposure of <i>Ahr</i> and <i>Arnt</i> hypomorphs to dioxin rescues vascular development
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is commonly known for its role in the adaptive metabolism of xenobiotics and in the toxic events that follow exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (dioxin). Previously, we have demonstrated that the AHR and its heterodimeric partner, the AHR nuclear translocator (ARNT), play a role in the developmental closure of a hepatic vascular shunt known as the ductus venosus (DV). To investigate the mechanism of DV closure, we generated hypomorphic alleles of the Ahr and Arnt loci. Using these models, we then asked whether this vascular defect could be rescued by receptor activation during late development. By manipulating gestational exposure, the patent DV in AHR or ARNT hypomorphs could be efficiently closed by dioxin exposure as early as embryonic day 12.5 and as late as embryonic day 18.5. These findings define the temporal regulation of receptor activation during normal ontogeny and provide evidence to support the idea that receptor activation and AHR-ARNT heterodimerization are essential for normal vascular development. Taken in the broader context, these data demonstrate that similar AHR signaling steps govern all major aspects of AHR biology.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
