Objective: To detect target genes for further study by way of analyzing the gene expression profiles of benzene poisoning by using cDNA microarray.
Methods: Peripheral mononuclear cells were isolated from seven patients with benzene poisoning of different degrees, and sevene age-and sex-matched normal subjects. Total RNA was extracted and purified, followed by revese transcription to cDNAs with concomitant incorporation of fluorescent dCTP (Cy3 or Cy5). The cDNAs were used as probes in microarray of 2780 cloned cDNA. Fluorescent signals were scanned to detect genes differentially expressed in patients and normal subjects.
Results: Among 7 pieces of cDNA microarray of 2780 tumour related genes, the expression of 16 genes, such as GRO1, TGFBR3, LYN ctc was upregulated, whereas the expression of 28 genes, such as FOSB, DJ-1, MCT-1 etc was down-regulated.
Conclusion: Abnormal expression of tumour related genes of patients exposed to benzene suggests that they may be the key genes, which play important role in benzene-induced leucocythemia. cDNA microarray technique is useful to indicate the expression mode of benzene poisoning tumour related genes, and to find rapidly and effectively new research object and the way of gene therapy.

The hematopoietic system is the primary target of benzene exposure. Whether peripheral blood miRNA can serve as sensitive biomarkers for benzene-induced hematopoietic damage has attracted considerable attention. This study focuses on exploring the role of miR-451a and miR-486-5p in benzene-induced erythroid damage and assessing their potential as biomarkers of benzene-induced hematotoxicity.

Benzene is a crucial industrial hydrocarbon, posing significant health risks due to its toxic metabolites like hydroquinone (HQ). This study investigates the role of clusterin (CLU) in benzene toxicity by analyzing its protein and mRNA levels, as well as the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax, to evaluate the feasibility of CLU as a biomarker for chronic benzene poisoning. HL-60 cells were induced to differentiate into neutrophil-like cells using 1% Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO).

Exposure to benzene causes acute myelosuppression and other hematologic disorders. However, the detailed mechanism by which benzene exerts its severe hematotoxicity and potential treatments still require further deciphering and exploration. Herein, we found that hydroquinone (HQ), a main benzene metabolite, significantly increased intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and subsequently caused damage to DNA, leading to impaired colony formation capacity and induction of apoptosis in human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) in vitro.
