(+/-)-anti-benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide (BPDE) is a carcinogen causing bulky-adduct DNA damage. In this study, we investigated early transcriptional signatures induced by various concentrations (0.005, 0.05, and 0.5 microM) of this carcinogen in a normal human cell line (FL human amnion epithelial cells) using the whole-genome Affymetrix HG-U133 Set microarray. The numerous identified genes were involved in multiple functions and higher doses of BPDE elicited more robust expression changes. The disturbance of genes involved in cell cycle regulation, growth and apoptosis was correlated with the S and G(2)/M phase cell cycle arrest and cytotoxic phenotypes induced by different levels of BPDE. Bioinformatic analysis showed that several transcription factors and their related stress signaling pathways might partly account for the transcriptional signature induced by BPDE. Additionally, gene ontology analysis of the microarray data showed down-regulation of transport, cytoskeleton and DNA repair by 0.5 microM BPDE exposure. In conclusion, this genomic analysis helps to understand the mechanism of cellular response to BPDE.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
