Article Synopsis
  • Researchers previously found that benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a carcinogen in tobacco smoke, caused significantly more DNA damage in smokers' buccal cells compared to non-smokers, indicating a link to oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
  • A Phase 0 clinical study involving 27 smokers tested the effects of black raspberry (BRB) lozenges on reducing B[a]P-induced DNA damage over an 8-week period.
  • Results showed a significant reduction in DNA damage at various points during and after BRB administration, suggesting its potential as a chemopreventive agent against tobacco-related OSCC.

Lung cancer is the main cause of cancer deaths around the world. Nitrosamine 4-(methyl nitrosamine)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a tobacco-specific carcinogen of lung cancer. Abundant evidence implicates long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in tumorigenesis.

Background And Purpose: It is well acknowledged that tobacco-derived lung carcinogens can induce lung injury and even lung cancer through a complex mechanism. MicroRNAs (MiRNAs) are differentially expressed in tobacco-derived carcinogen nicotine-derived nitrosamine ketone (NNK)-treated A/J mice.

Experimental Approach: RNA sequencing was used to detect the level of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs).

Background & Aims: It remains unclear why the association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was substantially stronger in Western countries than in Asian countries. As experimental studies have revealed that fat intake modulates tobacco carcinogen metabolism and the growth of transplanted or carcinogen-induced lung tumors in mice, the present study sought to investigate whether the association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was modified by intake of total fat and types of fat (saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats) in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial.

Methods: During a median follow-up of 8.

Tobacco smoking and human papillomavirus infection are established etiological agents in the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The incidence and mortality of HNSCC are higher in men than women. To provide biochemical basis for sex differences, we tested the hypothesis that carcinogen treatment using dibenzo[]chrysene, which is an environmental pollutant and tobacco smoke constituent, in the absence or presence of the mouse papillomavirus infection results in significantly higher levels of DNA damage in the oral cavity in male than in female mice.
