Cigarette smoke-induced alterations in blood: A review of research on DNA methylation and gene expression.
Constanza P. Silva, Helen M. Kamens
Abstract
. Functional enrichment analysis of the 261 genes identified the aryl hydrocarbon receptor repressor and T cell pathways (T helpers 1 and 2) as influenced by smoking status. These results highlight specific genes for future mechanistic and translational research that may be associated with cigarette smoke exposure and smoking-related diseases.
