Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are well-known to be carcinogenic and the mechanisms that it contributes to oxidative DNA damage and aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR)-dependent induction are also well understood. However, little is known about the associations between PAH exposure, AhR expression, and oxidative DNA damage. We investigated their associations of AhR expression and oxidative DNA damage related to PAH exposure among 310 workers from a coke-oven plant in China. Urine biomarkers of PAH exposure (2-hydroxynaphthalene, 2-NAP; 2-hydroxyfluorene, 2-FLU; 9-hydroxyphenanthren, 9-PHE; and 1-hydroxypyrene, 1-OHP) and a marker of oxidative damage (8-hydroxy- 2'- deoxyguanosine, 8-OHdG) were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. AhR expression in venous blood was measured by reverse transcription -polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that increasing levels of urinary 1-OHP was positively associated with high 8-OHdG (OR (95% CI) was 4.01 (1.41-11.45) for 4th quartile, compared with 1st quartile, P for trend = 0.013). The similar associations were also found between urinary 1-OHP and high-AhR expressions (4th vs. 1st quartile = 3.50, 95% CI: 1.24-9.87, P for trend = 0.029). A significant association between AhR expression and high 8-OHdG was also found (4th vs. 1st quartile = 2.44, 95% CI: 1.05-5.70, P for trend = 0.027). In addition, mediation analysis showed the AhR expression could explain 35.9% of the association of oxidative DNA damage related to PAH exposure. Our findings implicated that the association between PAH exposure and oxidative DNA damage may be mediated by AhR expression among Chinese occupational workers. (C) 2018 Elsevier Ltd.
