Comparative Studies on Asbestos

PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's index of medical journals, labels every article with its publication type. 924 studies in our library are labeled as studies that compare groups, methods or treatments. The labels are NLM's, not ours. Each entry links to the study on PubMed and to its journal's page in our library, where you can read the abstract.

  In plain English

  This Japanese laboratory study measured promoter methylation, a chemical DNA change that can silence genes, in four genes that restrain a cell signaling pathway called Wnt: WIF-1 and SFRP1, 2 and 4. Only for WIF-1 did it test whether methylation went with lower gene activity. A gene-activity scan found WIF-1 activity 72-fold lower in tumor than normal tissue. In tumor samples from 46 patients at Hiroshima University, WIF-1 methylation was found in 34 of 46 (73.9%). In comparison, it was found in 4 of 24 (16.7%) non-cancerous lung tissue samples including the lung lining (pleura), a statistically significant difference. Methylation of any of the four genes was found in 44 of 46 tumors (95.6%) and 12 of 24 controls (50%). SFRP methylation was more frequent in tumors, but the differences were not statistically significant. All 8 mesothelioma cell lines showed WIF-1 methylation. A drug that removes methylation restored WIF-1 in 6 of them. No mutations were found in the examined part of the beta-catenin gene. Asbestos exposure was not studied. The authors concluded that WIF-1 promoter methylation is a common event in mesothelioma.

  In plain English

  This study followed 135 000 Swedish construction workers given health check-ups in 1971-1974, tracking cancers to the end of 1987. Within this group, researchers compared 719 workers who developed lung cancer, and 41 with pleural mesothelioma, with matched workers who did not. Asbestos exposure was measured two ways. One was workers' own yes/no answer to a question focused largely on asbestos cement sheets. The other was a job exposure matrix rating each worker's current job by likely exposure intensity. Pleural mesothelioma was more common than expected from Swedish national rates (standardized incidence ratio 1.60, 95% CI 1.13-2.20, 41 cases). For lung cancer, the second-highest job rating had a smoking-adjusted odds ratio of 2.18 (95% CI 1.20-3.98). Self-reports showed no association with lung cancer (odds ratio 0.81, 95% CI 0.62-1.04). The authors suggested this seemed to reflect woodworkers who reported exposure, who had lower lung cancer risk. Mesothelioma results followed a similar pattern, but none was statistically significant. The authors concluded that the job matrix performed better than the simple question. They also concluded that both appeared subject to misclassification and should be more detailed.
