Cigarette smoking interacts with the urinary arsenic profile to modify the risk of urothelial carcinoma. NNK (4-[methylnitrosamino]-1-[3-pyridyl]-1-butanone) and its metabolite NNAL (4-[methylnitrosamino]-1-[3-pyridyl]-1-butanol) are biomarkers for cigarette smoking exposure. We explored the joint effects of urinary NNK metabolites and arsenic species

Overexpression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) has been detected in many cancers. Tobacco exposure is known to induce genetic and epigenetic changes in the pathogenesis of malignancy. 4-(Methylnitrosamino)- 1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is an important carcinogen present in tobacco smoke; however the
