Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Toxicogenomics
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Nanoparticle (NP) exposure in occupational settings poses potential health risks.
  • Long-term exposure effects on the transcriptomic profile are not fully understood.
  • Research workers in nanocomposite fields experience chronic NP exposure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of acute daily nanoparticle inhalation on gene expression.
  • To analyze transcriptomic changes in male workers with a history of long-term NP exposure.
  • To identify potential biomarkers for NP inhalation exposure.

Main Methods:

  • Whole genome mRNA and miRNA expression analysis from blood samples.
  • Blood samples collected pre- and post-machining or welding tasks.
  • Workplace exposure assessment via stationary and personal monitoring.

Main Results:

  • Decreased expression of stress response genes (DDIT4, FKBP5) post-exposure.
  • DDIT4 expression correlated with exposure dose in the Machining group.
  • Increased levels of cancer-related microRNAs (miR30-d-5p, miR-3613-5p) in welders linked to NP dose.

Conclusions:

  • Nanoparticle exposure contributes to immune system deregulation.
  • Altered gene pathways suggest a link to cancer development.
  • Recommends protective equipment and further research on NP health effects.
