Cigarette smoke alters the transcriptome of non-involved lung tissue in lung adenocarcinoma patients

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Alterations in the gene expression of organs in contact with the environment may signal exposure to toxins. To identify genes in lung tissue whose expression levels are altered by cigarette smoking, we compared the transcriptomes of lung tissue between 118 ever smokers and 58 never smokers. In all cases, the tissue studied was non-involved lung tissue obtained at lobectomy from patients with lung...
