Phenotypic anchoring of global gene expression profiles induced by N-hydroxy-4-acetylaminobiphenyl and benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide reveals correlations between expression profiles and mechanism of toxicity.

Abstract excerpt

The goal of this study was to compare changes in gene expression induced by exposure to different carcinogens and to anchor these changes to the induced levels of toxicity and mutagenesis. The human TK6 lymphoblastoid cell line was used as an in vitro model system, and reactive metabolites of two human carcinogens, benzo[a]pyrene and 4-aminobiphenyl, were used as model compounds. We first determined the toxicity...
