Abstract
Dibenz[a,h]anthracene (DB[a,h]A) is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that is a by-product of combustion and a potent carcinogen. Few studies have investigated the effects of DB[a,h]A on mRNA and microRNA expression to dissect the mechanisms involved in carcinogenesis. In this study, mature male mice (Muta(™)Mouse) were exposed to 6.25, 12.5 and 25mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A by oral gavage for 28 consecutive days. Results were compared with mice similarly exposed to benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P) in our previous work. Liver DNA adduct levels and lacZ mutant frequency increased dose dependently for both chemicals. Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) potency was greater for DB[a,h]A than B[a]P using the chemical-activated luciferase expression assay. Microarray analysis revealed 19 up-regulated and 22 down-regulated genes (false discovery rate-adjusted P ≤ 0.05; fold change ≥ 1.5) following treatment with 6.25 mg/kg/day DB[a,h]A. Thirteen transcripts were up-regulated and 32 down-regulated in the 12.5mg/kg/day group. The 25mg/kg/day dose had major effects on mRNA expression with 135 up-regulated and 104 down-regulated genes. Overall, perturbations were greater for DB[a,h]A than for B[a]P; in vitro chemical-activated luciferase expression supports that this may be driven by the AhR. Many of the DB[a,h]A-affected genes are implicated in cancer and are essential in vital biological functions including circadian rhythm, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, immune response, cell cycle and apoptosis. Although a number of functional groups were similarly affected by B[a]P and DB[a,h]A, in general the responses generated by each chemical were quite distinct. Commonalities included a DNA damage response leading to induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in both Tp53-dependent and Tp53-independent manners. MicroRNA expression was identical for both chemicals, with only miR-34a showing a dose-dependent increase in treated mice.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
