Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide is a carcinogen present in tobacco smoke as well as in environmental pollution. Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide is a metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) , which is polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) . Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide induces esophageal carcinogenesis. Benzo[a]pyrene diol epoxide may act to induce activation of ERKs and p38 MAPK marked by an increased level of phosphorylation of both the ERKs and p38 MAPK which corresponds with the increased activation of both kinases as evidenced by increased phsosphorylation of their substrates Elk-1 and ATF-2, respectively.
