Role of non-coding RNA in lung cancer. One epigenetic mechanism altered by BP exposure is non-coding RNA alterations. For example, BP binds to AHR, which in turn upregulates the non-coding RNA linc00673. This upregulation promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition, resulting in lung cancer. This is just one example of the epigenetic alterations caused by PAH exposure.
