A dramatic decrease in the PTEN mRNA expression and a significant increase of PTEN methylation level were shown in benzene-treated rats and F32 lymphoblast cell line cells.
•
PTEN mRNA expression was up regulated and PTEN methylation level was reduced by the epigenetic inhibitors, 5-aza and TSA.
•
PTEN methylation is involved in benzene-induced hematotoxicity through suppressing PTEN mRNA expression.
