Furthermore, based on our previous finding that the activation of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a ligand-activated transcription factor, upregulates OVOL1 expression [11,12,13], we examined whether the activation of AHR by Glyteer, a soybean tar that is utilized for AD treatment clinically in Japan [16,17], inhibited IL-4-induced IL-33 expression in NHEKs. This evidence concerns the gene AHR and Alzheimer disease.
