Whole-exome sequencing reveals frequent genetic alterations in BAP1, NF2, CDKN2A, and CUL1 in malignant pleural mesothelioma
This laboratory study read the protein-coding DNA (the 'exome') of tumors from 22 people diagnosed with malignant pleural mesothelioma at the New York University General Thoracic Surgery Service. Each tumor was compared with the same…

Interaction of asbestos, age, and cigarette smoking in producing radiographic evidence of diffuse pulmonary fibrosis
…populations with different levels of exposure to asbestos and with different cigarette smoking histories shows that smoking in the general population does not produce pulmonary fibrosis recognizable on chest radiography. In the general population of Michigan…

Heterozygous germline BLM mutations increase susceptibility to asbestos and mesothelioma
…Therefore, 7 of 155 apparently unrelated mesothelioma patients carried BLM+/- mutations, significantly higher (P = 6.7E-10) than the expected frequency in a general, unrelated population from the gnomAD database, and 2 of 7 carried…

New molecular and epidemiological issues in mesothelioma: role of SV40
…was difficult to draw conclusions. They suggested that SV40 and asbestos might act together. The authors concluded that it would be premature to reach definitive conclusions about SV40's role in mesothelioma in the general population.

Cross reactivity between many anti-human antibodies for their hamster homologs provide the tools to study the signal transduction pathway activated by asbestos and SV40 in the malignant mesothelioma model
…NFkappaB p65, IkappaB, GAPDH) cross-reacted with their hamster counterparts. These data indicate that hamster mesothelioma model and more in general hamster experimental model, can be used for functional studies because many mouse, rabbit, and goat…

Spirometric impairments in long-term insulators. Relationships to duration of exposure, smoking, and radiographic abnormalities
…and reduced FEV1/FVC are both more frequent in insulators who have smoked (compared with NS insulators or smokers in the general population) suggests an interaction between asbestos and smoking in producing both these physiologic abnormalities.
