Τεκμήριο Exposure to environmental factors and health: effects of exposure to African dust on health and the role of microRNAs as diagnostic markers for environmental exposure.(ΕΛ.ΜΕ.ΠΑ., Σχολή Επιστημών Υγείας (ΣΕΥ), ΠΜΣ Προηγμένη Κλινική Πρακτική στις Επιστήμες Υγείας, 2022-06-14) Kotsyfakis, Michail; Κοτσυφάκης, ΜιχαήλEnvironmental exposure is a growing public health burden associated with several negative health effects. An estimated 4.2 million deaths occur each year from ambient air pollution alone. Biomarkers that reflect specific exposures have the potential to measure the real integrated internal dose from all routes of complex environmental exposure. MicroRNAs, small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression, have been studied as biomarkers in various diseases and have also shown potential as environmental exposure biomarkers. Here we review the available human epidemiological and experimental evidence of microRNA expression changes in response to specific environmental exposures including airborne particulate matter. In doing so, we establish that miRNA exposure biomarker development remains in its infancy and future studies will need to carefully consider biological and analytical “design rules” in order to facilitate clinical translation.
