A study of temporal transcriptional changes induced by a low concentration BPDE in cultured human cells

The environmental carcinogen, ()-anti-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE), causes bulky-adduct DNA damages, triggers certain signaling pathways, and elicits gene expression changes. Here, we focused on the temporal gene expression changes induced by a low concentration (0.05 M) BPDE in human amnion epithelial FL cells. Differential gene expression profiles at 1, 10 and 22 h post BPDE treatment were obtained using Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 oligonucleotide microarrays.
