THE BIOMARKERS FOR DIAGNOSIS OF HEPATOTOXICITY INDUCED BY BENZENE AND THE METHOD OF DIAGNOSIS FOR HEPATOTOXICITY THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A biomarker for diagnosing hepatotoxicity induced by benzene and a method for diagnosing hepatotoxicity are provided to study mechanism of hepatotoxicity and leukemia induced by exposure of benzene and other various chemicals. CONSTITUTION: A biomarker for diagnosing hepatotoxicity induced by benzene is a gene of which expression is increased or decreased by exposure of a hepatotoxicity chemical. The hepatotoxicity chemical is benzene. A method for diagnosing hepatotoxicity comprises: a step of isolating RNA from hepatocytes of experimental group of patient and control group; a step of synthesizing cDNA of the experimental group and control group; a step of synthesizing cDNA to cRNA a step of hybridizing using cRNA with microarray; a step of analyzing microarray; and a step of comparing results of control group and experimental group.
