miRNAs调控（稀土）Nd2O3诱导稀土尘肺的作用及机制研究

Pneumoconiosis is a kind of most serious occupational disease with the highest incidence in China. Recent years, microRNAs(miRNAs) plays an important role in a series of diseases. Studying the effect and mechanism of miRNAs on lung injury induced by rare earth dust (Nd2O3) is an important part to further clarify the pathogenesis of pneumoconiosis. Our study will screen the miRNAs with the dramatically different expression in the serum of patients with rare earth pneumoconiosis and based on the results, the related or regulated signaling pathway will be further studied. Besides that, our project is going to study the changes of miR-21 and miR-29, which are most important ones in lung inflammation and fbrosis in vitro and in vivo, and clarify the association and regulations of miR-21/ miR-29 in NF-κB/MyD88 and TGF-β/Smads signaling pathway in the lung injury induced by Nd2O3. In sum, to study the effects and the mechanisms of miRNAs in Nd2O3 induced lung injury will be helpful to explore the biomarkers for early diagnosis/prognosis pneumoconiosis disease.
