Global gene expression changes in human embryonic lung fibroblasts induced by organic extracts from respirable air particles
12 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recently, we used cell-free assays to demonstrate the toxic effects of complex mixtures of organic extracts from urban air particles (PM2.5) collected in four localities of the Czech Republic (Ostrava-Bartovice, Ostrava-Poruba, Karvina and Trebon) which differed in the extent and sources of air pollution. To obtain further insight into the biological mechanisms of action of the extractable organic...
