Figure 1 Aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma development and immune escape.
This figure illustrates the multifaceted influence of aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) signaling on esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) development and immune escape. Activation of AhR by environmental carcinogens or other ligands initiates a cascade of cellular processes that contribute to tumorigenesis. EMT: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition; NH3: Ammonia; PD-L1: Programmed death-ligand 1; ROS: Reactive oxygen species; TEPA: Triethylenetetramine.
