Chronic mesothelial reaction and toxicity of potassium octatitanate fibers in the pleural cavity in mice and F344 rats
…which are morphologically similar to asbestos particles, were shown to induce severe proliferative reactions in the pleural mesothelium in a previous experiment carried out over 21 weeks. The present study aims to determine whether these fibers…

In response to Sharing different perspectives to understand asbestos-induced carcinogenesis: A comment to Jiang et al. (2016) by Alessandro Francesco Gualtieri (2017)
…hemoglobin. They stated that catalytic Fe(II) is more important than Fe(III) because it initiates a Fenton reaction. They described two roles of macrophages: scavenging fibers and promoting inflammation. They stated that chrysotile is carcinogenic…

Dual preventive benefits of iron elimination by desferal in asbestos-induced mesothelial carcinogenesis
…its effects on asbestos-induced peritoneal inflammation and iron deposition, as well as oxidative stress. Nitrilotriacetate was used to promote an iron-catalyzed Fenton reaction as a positive control. Desferal significantly decreased peritoneal fibrosis, iron deposition…

Characteristics and modifying factors of asbestos-induced oxidative DNA damage
…Natural iron chelators, such as citrate, adenosine 5'-triphosphate and guanosine 5'-triphosphate, did not inhibit this reaction. Second, we used time-lapse video microscopy to evaluate how cells cope with asbestos fibers. RAW264.7 cells…

Size- and shape-dependent pleural translocation, deposition, fibrogenesis, and mesothelial proliferation by multiwalled carbon nanotubes
…patchy parietal mesothelial proliferation lesions. In addition, MWCNT-L induced stronger inflammatory reactions including increased inflammatory cell number and cytokine/chemokine levels in the pleural cavity lavage than MWCNT-S. In contrast, MWCNT-S induced stronger…
