Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a stable man-made compound with many industrial and commercial uses. Recently, however, concern has been raised that it may induce various toxicological effects such as hepatotoxicity, immunotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Because levels of circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) can be altered in several clinical diseases, they may serve as potential novel biomarkers. Here, we explored differences in the profiles of circulating miRNAs in mice after PFOA exposure. Using TaqMan miRNA arrays, we determined that the levels of 24 circulating miRNAs were altered in mice dosed with PFOA at 1.25mg/kg/d and 73 were altered in mice dosed with 5mg/kg/d. Eight miRNAs were further validated using TaqMan Real-Time PCR assays. Results were consistent with those obtained from the TaqMan miRNA arrays, except for miR-199a-3p. The most remarkable of the circulating miRNAs (miR-26b-5p and miR-199a-3p) were also up-regulated in the serum of occupational workers in our previous epidemiological study. We also found similar patterns in mice exposed to PFOS. These results demonstrated that circulating miRNA profiles were altered after exposure to high concentrations of PFOA and miR-28-5p, miR-32-5p, miR-122-5p, miR-192-5p, and miR-26b-5p in serum may be linked to effects of PFOA, especially in occupationally exposed people.
