Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) ligands such as dioxin and
benzo[a]pyrene are environmental contaminants with
many adverse health effects, including immunosuppression,
carcinogenesis, and endothelial cell damage. We show here that a
wine component, resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxystilbene), is a
competitive antagonist of dioxin and other AhR ligands. Resveratrol
promotes AhR translocation to the nucleus and binding to DNA at
dioxin-responsive elements but subsequent transactivation does
not take place. Resveratrol inhibits the transactivation of several
dioxin-inducible genes including cytochrome P-450 1A1 and
interleukin-1
, both ex vivo and in vivo. Resveratrol has adequate
potency and nontoxicity to warrant clinical testing as a prophylactic
agent against aryl hydrocarbon-induced pathology.
