Abstract excerpt
Mutations of the Smad2 and Smad4 genes, identified as mediators of the transforming growth factor-beta pathway, were investigated in lung adenocarcinomas induced by N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP) in rats. Male Wistar rats, 6 wk old, were given 2000 ppm BHP in their drinking water for 12 wk and maintained without additional treatment until killed at week 25. Total RNA was extracted from 12...
