Gene expression profiles in lung tissue of rats following exposure to mainstream cigarette smoke

Expression data from rats exposed to cigarette smoke (CS) at three concentrations (sham, 300µgTPM/l and 600µgTPM/l) for 13 weeks (5d/week; 2hrs/day) after three different recovery times (2hrs, 6hrs and 20hrs after last treatment); lung tissue Keywords: recovery time course and dose dependency Male Sprague-Dawley rats were nose-only-exposed for 13 weeks in total, 5d/week, 2h/day to following concentrations of mainstream cigarette smoke from the standard reference cigarette 2R4F: sham, 300µgTPM (Total particulate matter)/l or 600µgTPM/l.
