Inhalation exposure of hexanal in rats (miRNA)

ABSTRACT: To further development of insight into the mechanism of toxicity, it is important to employ whole genome microarray expression profiling to identify and characterize miRNAs profiles as a discovery platform relevant for toxicologic mechanisms of hexanal. miRNAs have prominent role in cell cycle control, apoptosis, cancer development and proliferation-related processes. However, few reports have described the effect of hexanal on miRNA expression profiles using animal model. In this respect, we studied the expression profiles of miRNAs in hexanal-exposed in rats by miRNA microarray analysis. To evaluate the miRNA expression in lung tissue of rats after exposure of hexanal, Fischer-344 rats were inhaled to three concentrations (600, 1000, 1500 mg/m3) for 5 weeks. miRNA expression analysis was
