Global gene expression profiles from PBMCs treated with reference tobacco product preparations

This Data in Brief article describes global gene expression profiles from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) that were treated with preparations from reference combustible and non-combustible tobacco products (TPPs). PBMCs isolated from non-smokers were treated with three non-cytotoxic doses of aqueous preparations from 3R4F cigarettes, termed Whole Smoke-Conditioned Medium (WS-CM) and a single dose of 2S3 moist snuff, termed smokeless tobacco extract (STE). PBMCs were treated with the test articles for 3 hours and the extracted total RNA was reverse transcribed and hybridized to HTA 2.0 Genechip(®) arrays and scanned using an Affymetrix GeneChip(®) Scanner 3000. CEL files and CHP files were generated using an Affymetrix Expression console. The CEL files were submitted to the NCBI database with GEO accession number GSE110027. The results of the microarray analyses are found in this Data in Brief article. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA; Qiagen) was used to conduct core analyses of genes that were differentially expressed by high WS-CM or STE based on the Ingenuity Gene knowledge. Expression of several of the differentially expressed genes was confirmed by RT-PCR. Analyses of these data can be found in the article “Distinct gene expression changes in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells treated with different tobacco product preparations” [1].
