Comparative Functional Genomics Analysis of NNK Tobacco-Carcinogen Induced Lung Adenocarcinoma Development in Gprc5a-Knockout Mice
29 Jul 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Improved understanding of lung cancer development and progression, including insights from studies of animal models, are needed to combat this fatal disease. Previously, we found that mice with a knockout (KO) of G-protein coupled receptor 5A (Gprc5a) develop lung tumors after a long latent period (12 to 24 months). METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: To determine whether a tobacco carcinogen will enhance...
