Sub-chronic pulmonary transcriptional response to a mixture of 4 PAHs in adult male MutaTMMouse.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are a class of hundreds of structurally similar chemicals ubiquitously present in our environment. They are created during the incomplete combustion of organic materials, such as oil, wood, tobacco, and charbroiled meat. As such, human exposure to mixtures of PAHs can occur through consumption of PAH-containing foods and water, inhalation of polluted air, or dermal contact. Several PAHs have been classified as carcinogenic to humans or probably carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer. The mice in this study were exposed to a mixture of 4 PAHs, benzo(a)pyrene, benz(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, and chrysene. In the present study, we sought to determine the dose-dependent changes in gene expression upon oral exposure to this PAH mixture in the lung tissue. Adult male MutaTMMouse were exposed to three doses of the mixture of 4 PAHs or vehicle control (olive oil) for 28 days and sacrificed three days after the final exposure.
