Research on Crocidolite

The National Library of Medicine's indexers, who file every article in PubMed under subject headings (MeSH), filed 585 studies in our library under “Asbestos, Crocidolite”. The indexing is NLM's, not ours. For what these studies mean for people exposed, read our page on crocidolite. 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 British population-based study compared the amount of asbestos in the lungs of 133 people with pleural mesothelioma with that of 262 people who had surgery for lung cancer, who served as the comparison group. Patients were interviewed about their work histories. Asbestos fibres longer than 5 micrometres were counted by electron microscopy. Most fibres found were amosite (75%) or crocidolite (18%). Chrysotile made up 1.9%. Among men, the odds of mesothelioma rose with lung burden. In the highest group (1.0 million fibres per dry gram of lung or more), the odds ratio was 35.00 (95% CI 7.22 to 169.6) compared with the lowest group. The authors estimated lifetime mesothelioma risk at about 0.020% per 1000 asbestos fibres per gram of dry lung. All 27 male mesothelioma patients with burdens above 0.5 million fibres per gram had worked in high-risk jobs. Carpenters had the highest amosite levels. Burdens in women were much lower. The authors concluded that amosite contributed heavily to UK mesothelioma and that non-occupational exposure contributed substantially, particularly in women. There were too few women to analyse them separately.

  In plain English

  This was a laboratory experiment on frog egg cells, not people. The researchers tested whether egg cells (oocytes) of the frog Xenopus laevis could serve as a model for studying how asbestos fibres interact with cell membranes. They exposed the cells to standard amosite or crocidolite asbestos samples, or to wollastonite, a non-asbestos mineral used for comparison. They measured the cells' electrical properties and examined them by electron microscopy. Compared with untreated cells, amosite and crocidolite changed the membranes' electrical properties. Membrane resistance fell from 0.95 megohms in 102 untreated cells to 0.79 in 68 amosite-treated cells and 0.66 in 84 crocidolite-treated cells. These changes appeared within 5 to 10 minutes. Wollastonite caused no significant changes in 7 cells. Crocidolite injected inside cells did not change their electrical membrane properties, at least in the short term. Treating crocidolite with iron-binding chemicals abolished its effects on the resting membrane properties. Under the microscope, researchers never saw cells engulfing fibres. The authors concluded these cells are a suitable model but said it is unclear how the changes relate to asbestos toxicity.

• Asbestos modulates thioredoxin-thioredoxin interacting protein interaction to regulate inflammasome activation. J.K. Thompson, C.M. Westbom, M.B. MacPherson, et al. Particle and Fibre Toxicology 2014;11:24. PubMed · Publisher · Free full text

  In plain English

  This was a laboratory study on human cells grown in dishes, not on people. The researchers exposed human peritoneal mesothelial cells (LP9/hTERT) to crocidolite asbestos, chrysotile asbestos, or glass beads used as a harmless control. Crocidolite oxidized thioredoxin-1 (Trx1), a protective antioxidant protein, which sharply lowered the amount of its active, reduced form. Chrysotile and glass beads did not change the oxidation state of Trx1 at 8 and 24 hours. Crocidolite raised Trx1 gene activity 1.6-fold at 24 hours, lowered total Trx1 protein by about 67%, and increased reactive oxygen species. Cells made to produce extra Trx1 showed a non-significant trend toward lower oxygen species and a trend toward better survival. Lowering the partner protein TXNIP reduced activation of caspase-1, a marker that the inflammasome had switched on. The inflammasome is a protein complex involved in inflammation. In asbestos-exposed cells, blocking caspase-1 beforehand raised cell viability by 18% compared with asbestos alone. The authors concluded that asbestos activates the inflammasome partly through TXNIP, as a consequence of changes in Trx1. They said the caspase-1 cell-death finding still needs confirmation.

  In plain English

  This short conference report described laboratory experiments on mechanisms of asbestosis, a scarring of lung tissue. First, the researchers exposed a rat lung fibroblast cell line to crocidolite asbestos in culture dishes. Fibroblasts are the cells that make collagen, the main scar protein. At 48 hours, exposed cells had more collagen than unexposed cells at all three doses (25.59, 24.75 and 24.05 versus 18.38, measured per nanogram of DNA). At 72 hours, only the highest dose was higher (37.69 versus 23.66). The exposed cells did not multiply more, and the amount of type I procollagen genetic message did not differ. Second, rats breathed crocidolite for 30 days. Their lungs showed fibrotic changes. The researchers used a marker of DNA synthesis (tritiated thymidine). It labeled more alveolar epithelial cells (4.13% versus 0.8% in controls) and more interstitial cells identified as fibroblasts (3.07% versus 1.13%). The labeling of bronchiolar epithelial cells was comparable between the groups. The authors concluded that their work suggests at least two mechanisms. Individual fibroblasts make more collagen, and interstitial fibroblasts have an enhanced replicative potential in the lung after rats inhale asbestos.
