Response of mouse lung to crocidolite asbestos. 1. Minimal fibrotic reaction to short fibres
This was an animal experiment from the University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, on how mouse lungs respond to short crocidolite asbestos fibres. The authors separated short fibres from a standard UICC crocidolite sample. These had a mean length of 0.6…

The association of phagocytosed asbestos dust with lysosome enzymes
…staining combined with electron microscopy. It was found that the acid phosphatase reaction was confined to the lysosome series of organelles, but that not all of these structures gave a positive reaction. In dust-containing macrophages…

Response of mouse lung to crocidolite asbestos. 2. Pulmonary fibrosis after long fibres
…These findings suggest that injury to bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium allows long fibres to reach the interstitium where subsequent macrophage-fibroblast interactions result in a severe fibrotic reaction that resembles the bronchiolar component of human asbestosis.

SV40-like DNA sequences in pleural mesothelioma, bronchopulmonary carcinoma, and non-malignant pulmonary diseases
…tumours, and 33 non-malignant samples) and 38 additional samples distant from tumours were studied for the occurrence of SV40-like DNA sequences by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification followed by hybridization with specific probes. Sequences…

Iron overload signature in chrysotile-induced malignant mesothelioma
…closely associated with iron overload: repeated administration of an iron chelator, nitrilotriacetic acid, which promotes the Fenton reaction, significantly reduced the period required for carcinogenesis; massive iron deposition was found in the peritoneal organs with high…

Corpora amylacea in mesothelioma of the atrioventricular node
… ortochromasia and red birefringence with standardised toluidine blue; positive DMAB-nitrite and diazotisation coupling reactions and spontaneous autofluorescence. It is suggested that these bodies are derived from spontaneous assembly or polymerisation of microfibrils of desquamated cells…
