Cigarette smoke causes lung tumorigenesis; however, the mechanisms underlying transformation are unknown. We investigated if tobacco compounds induce DNA promoter hypermethylation in BEAS-2B cells treated with low doses of cigarette smoke condensate (CSC) for one month. Transcriptional profiles and anchorage-independent growth were explored using Affymetrix microarray and soft agar assay, respectively. To investigate if tobacco compounds induce hypermethylation, CSC/dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-tre ...[more]
