Oxidative stress is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of such diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the association between multiple occupational exposures in foundry workers and expression of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) repair genes as a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. The study sample comprised 17 foundry workers and 27 matched control subjects. Expression of 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1), inosine triphosphate pyrophosphate (ITPA), and MutT homolog 1 (MTH1) in peripheral blood was examined using the real-time polymerase chain reaction method. Air sampling to determine exposure to metal-rich particulate matter and measurement of extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) were conducted according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health standard methods. Personal air sampling revealed that occupational exposure to particulate matter exceeded the threshold limit values (TLVs) in 76% of the workstations, whereas ELF-EMF exposure appeared to be lower than the TLV. ITPA was significantly upregulated in foundry workers compared with control subjects, whereas no significant difference was observed for OGG1 and MTH1. Moreover, ITPA was strongly and positively correlated with the concentration of metal-rich particulate matter in foundry workers. No significant correlation was found between ELF-EMF exposure and expression of DNA repair genes. DNA repair gene expression may be a sensitive biomarker for occupational exposures, which suggests an involvement of oxidative stress in metal-induced toxicity. Further studies are needed to determine the role of DNA repair gene expression in response to occupational\/environmental hazards.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/07482337211021202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]],"date-time":"2021-07-12T04:45:37Z","timestamp":1626065137000},"page":"504-512","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Occupational exposure to metal-rich particulate matter modifies the expression of repair genes in foundry workers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3850-7670","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zahra","family":"Panjali","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, School of Public Health and Safety, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"},{"name":"Department of Occupational Health and Safety, School of Health and Medical Engineering, Tehran Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Omar","family":"Hahad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University Medical Center of the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Mainz, Germany"},{"name":"German Center for Cardiovascular Research (DZHK), Partner Site Rhine-Main, Mainz, Germany"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fatemeh","family":"Rajabi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Health and Safety, School of Public Health and Safety, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Saeid","family":"Maddah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Occupational Health and Safety, School of Health and Medical Engineering, Tehran Medical Sciences, Islamic Azad University, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1886-6713","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rezvan","family":"Zendehdel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Environmental and Occupational Hazard Control Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-07482337211021202","volume-title":"TLVs and BEIs.
