Nickel-induced transcriptional changes persist post exposure through epigenetic reprogramming
1 Dec 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nickel is an occupational and environmental toxicant associated with a number of diseases in humans including pulmonary fibrosis, bronchitis and lung and nasal cancers. Our earlier studies showed that the nickel-exposure-induced genome-wide transcriptional changes, which persist even after the termination of exposure may underlie nickel pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms that drive nickel-induced...
