Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify miRNA as potential diagnostic biomarkers for silica-related pulmonary fibrosis (SPF). METHODS: We first performed a comprehensive miRNA-seq screening in PBL of eight subjects exposed to silica dust (four individuals with SPF and four healthy controls). The promising miRNA were then evaluated in the first-stage validation using an independent GEO data set...
