Abstract
Different environmental exposures such as chemicals, metals, or particles may negatively affect animal and human health. These materials can alter the normal function of the endocrine system or exert toxicity specifically on the nervous, hematopoietic, respiratory, or digestive systems. However, the mechanisms of action remain largely unexplored. Recent data suggest that environmental exposures can lead to adverse health effects by altering expression of noncoding RNA, including microRNA and long noncoding RNA. This chapter reviews the current literature on the roles of noncoding RNAs as part of the mechanisms of action of environmental exposures.
