Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide stimulates an inflammatory response in normal human lung fibroblasts through a p53 and JNK mediated pathway. Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide is a carcinogen present in tobacco smoke as well as in environmental pollution, and it induces esophageal carcinogenesis. Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide-induced chromosomal aberrations in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) may reflect an individual′s genetic susceptibility to tobacco carcinogens. Benzo[a]pyrene Diol Epoxide may act to induce activation of ERKs and p38 MAPK marked by an increased level of phosphorylation of both the ERKs and p38 MAPK which corresponds with the increased activation of both kinases as evidenced by increased phsosphorylation of their substrates Elk-1 and ATF-2, respectively.
