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.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker for the identification of specific exposure to lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes which are volatile organic compounds exposed in the environment, and a method for the identification of specific exposure to lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes using the same, precisely a biomarker which is up- or down-regulated specifically by lower aliphatic saturated aldehyde exposure and a method for the identification of specific exposure to lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes using the biomarker. The biomarker of the present invention is the reacted genes selected by using DNA microarray chip, which can be effectively used for the monitoring and evaluation of lower aliphatic saturated aldehyde contamination in the environment samples and at the same time as a tool for the investigation of the toxic mechanism induced specifically by lower aliphatic saturated aldehydes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomarker for the identification of specific exposure to propionaldehyde which is one of volatile organic compounds exposed in the environment, and a method for the identification of specific exposure to propionaldehyde using the same, precisely a biomarker which is up-regulated or down-regulated specifically by propionaldehyde and a method for the identification of specific exposure to propionaldehyde using the biomarker. The biomarker of the present invention is the reacted genes selected by using DNA microarray chip, which can be effectively used for the monitoring and evaluation of propionaldehyde contamination in the environment samples and at the same time as a tool for the investigation of the toxic mechanism induced specifically by propionaldehyde.
