Objective To investigate the expressions of miR-16, miR-106b, miR-449a, miR-34a and let-7g in peripheral blood plasma of the residents surrounding hot springs with radon in Hebei province.Methods A total of 41 randomly selected residents surrounding hot springs with radon were considered as the radon group, and 46 residents with same living habit but without contact with hot springs were considered as control. The miRNAs in the peripheral blood plasma of these two groups were detected with qRT-PCR.Results The levels of miR-16, miR-106b, miR-449a and let-7g in the radon group were significantly higher than those in control group (Z=-2.278, -3.835, -2.719, -2.721,P<0.05). Alterations of these miRNAs were associated with radon exposure (t=2.154, 3.711, 2.319, 2.015,P<0.05) but had no relationship with age, sex, smoking and drinking factors. No significant difference was observed in the plasma levels of miR-34a between the two groups.Conclusions miR-16, miR-106b, miR-449a and let-7g could be applied as potential biomarkers for radon exposure. |
