Although it has been demonstrated that carcinogenic environmental polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) cause progression of atherosclerosis, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether DNA binding events are critically involved in the progression of
