| 1 | OBJECTIVES: We evaluated the effects of exposure to PM and PM metal components on candidate miRNAs (miR-222, miR-21, and miR-146a) related with oxidative stress and inflammatory processes in 63 workers at an electric-furnace steel plant. | Metals | microRNA 146a | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Postexposure expression of miR-146a was not significantly different from baseline (baseline = 0.61 +/- 2.42, postexposure = 1.90 +/- 3.94, p = 0.19) but was negatively correlated with exposure to lead (beta = -0.51, p = 0.011) and cadmium (beta = -0.42, p = 0.04). | Cadmium | microRNA 146a | Homo sapiens |
