Abstract
The present invention relates to a biomarker for the identification of exposure to lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes by using micro RNA and a method for the identification of exposure to lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes using the same. In this invention, the micro RNA at least 1.5 fold up-regulated by exposure to lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes and the micro RNA up to 0.66 fold down-regulated by the same were selected. These two micro RNAs can be effectively used as the biomarker for the monitoring of lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes and for the risk assessment thereby and at the same time as a tool to investigate the mechanism of toxicity caused by such lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes.
