Abstract
Identification of specific molecular changes (fingerprints) is important to identify cancer etiology. Exploitable biomarkers are related to DNA, epigenetics, and proteins. DNA adducts are the turning point between environmental exposures and biological damage. DNA mutational fingerprints are induced by carcinogens in tumor suppressor and oncogenes. In an epigenetic domain, methylation changes occurs in specific genes for arsenic, benzene, chromium, and cigarette smoke. Alteration of specific microRNA has been reported for environmental carcinogens. Benzo(a)pyrene, cadmium, coal, and wood dust hits specific heat-shock proteins and metalloproteases. The multiple analysis of these biomarkers provides information on the carcinogenic mechanisms activated by exposure to environmental carcinogens.
期刊介绍：
Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part C: Environmental Carcinogenesis and Ecotoxicology Reviews aims at rapid publication of reviews on important subjects in various areas of environmental toxicology, health and carcinogenesis. Among the subjects covered are risk assessments of chemicals including nanomaterials and physical agents of environmental significance, harmful organisms found in the environment and toxic agents they produce, and food and drugs as environmental factors. It includes basic research, methodology, host susceptibility, mechanistic studies, theoretical modeling, environmental and geotechnical engineering, and environmental protection. Submission to this journal is primarily on an invitational basis. All submissions should be made through the Editorial Manager site, and are subject to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Please review the instructions for authors for manuscript submission guidance.
