Acute phase response, inflammation and metabolic syndrome biomarkers of Libby asbestos exposure
…exposure route. One day after a single LA dose, two 'acute phase' proteins, part of a general reaction to inflammation, rose in all three strains tested. Lipocalin-2 also rose in those three strains, but osteopontin…

Early inflammatory response to asbestos exposure in rat and hamster lungs: role of inducible nitric oxide synthase
…inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) plays a role in the development of asbestos-related pulmonary disorders. The pulmonary reactions of rats and hamsters upon exposure to asbestos fibers are well known to be disparate. In addition…

Nanomaterial exposure and sterile inflammatory reactions
…and that of the general population. Moreover, the possible pathological consequences of nanomaterial-induced sterile inflammatory reactions need to be clarified in order to define suitable preventive measures to protect the health of chronically exposed subjects.

Erionite induces production of autoantibodies and IL-17 in C57BL/6 mice
…is little known about its effects on the immune system. We performed this study to determine whether erionite evokes autoimmune reactions in mice. Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) were used to measure toxicity induced by erionite…

Long and short fiber amosite asbestos alters at a different extent the redox metabolism in human lung epithelial cells
…cells A549, long amosite fibers, more effectively than the short ones, initiate free radical reactions, inhibit the glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and the pentose phosphate pathway, decrease the intracellular level of reduced glutathione, and increase…

Respiratory toxicity of multi-wall carbon nanotubes
…inflammation and fibrosis biochemically and histologically. CNT and ground CNT were still present in the lung after 60 days (80% and 40% of the lowest dose) and both induced inflammatory and fibrotic reactions. At 2 months…
