Induction of heme oxygenase in mammalian cells by mineral fibers: distinctive effect of reactive oxygen species
…and erionites also induced HO synthesis with varying degree of efficiency. In general, chrysotile and crocidolite were more efficient inducers of HO than tremolite and erionite when compared at fiber doses that resulted in approximately 50…

Metaphase and anaphase analysis of V79 cells exposed to erionite, UICC chrysotile and UICC crocidolite
…for chrysotile and crocidolite than erionite. These results correlate with the higher tumorigenic potency of erionite. In general, fewer cells treated with erionite entered anaphase than those treated with the other two minerals. As a result…

Human mesothelioma cells and asbestos-exposed mesothelial cells are selectively resistant to amosite toxicity: a possible mechanism for tumor promotion by asbestos
…cells that were only immortalized by SV40. The sensitivity of normal mesothelial cells to asbestos does not appear to be simply a result of general fragility of the mesothelial cells, since similar levels of hydrogen peroxide…
