We investigated the mechanisms of shear stress (SS)-induced activation of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 and cell cycle arrest with regard to the role of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), since AhR mediates the expression of CYP1A1 induced by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and is thought to be involved in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.
