Effects of Cigarette Smoke on the Human Oral Mucosal Transcriptome
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: 40 current smokers and 40 age- and gender- matched never smokers underwent buccal biopsies.The study had four objectives: (a) to define the effects of smoking on the transcriptome of oral epithelial cells; (b) to determine if any of the effects of tobacco smoke on the transcriptome are gender-dependent; (c) to compare the effects of tobacco smoke exposure on the transcriptome in oral v. bronchial epithelium and (d) to identify agents with the potential to suppress the effects of tobacco smoke on the transcriptome. We used microarrays to provide new insights into the carcinogenic effects of tobacco smoke and offer insights that may prove useful in developing preventive strategies.
