Identification of molecular targets of benzo(A)pyrene in vascular smooth muscle cells : implications in chemical atherogenesis /

The environmental carcinogen, benzo(a)pyrene (BaP), induces acquisition of highly proliferative (i.e. atherogenic) vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) phenotypes. The present studies were conducted to define the genetic basis of BaP-induced atherogenesis and to identify candidate target genes respon...
