Carcinogen-Specific Gene Expression Profiles in Short-term Treated Eker and Wild-type Rats Indicative of Pathways Involved in Renal Tumorigenesis
1 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
Eker rats heterozygous for a dominant germline mutation in the tuberous sclerosis 2 (Tsc2) tumor suppressor gene were used as a model to study renal carcinogenesis. Eker and corresponding wild-type rats were exposed to genotoxic aristolochic acid (AA) or non-genotoxic ochratoxin A (OTA) to elucidate early carcinogen-specific gene expression changes and to test whether Eker rats are more sensitive to...
