Omeprazole acts on aryl hydrocarbon receptor Figure 1: CYP expression in untreated Calu-3 cells 48 h after seeding Calu-3 and the type II-like pulmonary epithelial cell line (AhR) activation and induced CYP1A1 and CYP1B1 in (n = 3). Gene expression was analysed by real time RT-qPCR. Ct A549 serve as cell culture models for the human both cell lines (Table 2, 3). Rifampicin acts on pregnane x (threshold cycle) reflects the cycle number at which the fluorescence generated within a reaction crosses the threshold.

So far, there is little information receptor (PXR) and phenobarbitale acts predominantly on regarding their metabolic properties especially for Calu-3 constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), however, both Table 2: Fold change in CYP gene expression in Calu-3 cells 24 h after cells. In this study we want to further characterize A549 receptors are not expressed in the lung. Accordingly, both treatment with different inducers.
