Project name: Mus musculus

Description: In this study, we investigate mRNA profiles in lung of mice exposed to benzo(a)pyrene. Male mice were exposed to three doses (25, 50, and 75 mg/kg/day BaP) for 28 days and profiles were examined three days post-exposure. Our analyses reveal that BaP causes pulmonary specific cellular transformation indicative of carcinogenesis.Overall design: Individual total RNA (200 ng) from 5 mice per treatment group (control, 25mg/kg/day, 50mg/kg/day, and 75mg/kg/day) and universal reference total RNA (Stratagene, Mississauga, ON, Canada) was used to synthesize double stranded cDNA.

Data type: Transcriptome or Gene expression
