چکیده
Beck, E. G., Holt, P. F., and Nasrallah, E. T. (1971). Brit. J. industr. Med., 28, 179-185. Effects of chrysotile and acid-treated chrysotile on macrophage cultures. The addition of chrysotile asbestos to monolayer cultures of peritoneal and alveolar macrophages produces an increase in membrane permeability, as measured by eosin uptake and lactic dehydrogenase activity of the supernatant fluid. The lactate synthesis is increased, however. It is suggested that the permeability of the cell membrane is increased while dust particles are being phagocytosed, which may take several hours when the particles are fibrous, but that this does not imply cell damage. Treatment of chrysotile with acid, which leaves a silica surface, results in a product that reduces lactate synthesis, implying cytotoxicity. This change is counteracted by poly(2-vinylpyridine 1-oxide). The polymer does not affect the properties of the native chrysotile.

Cytotoxic Effects of Some Mineral Dusts on Syrian Hamster Peritoneal Macrophages
Hamster peritoneal macrophages were grown in cell culture and their response to various conditions was examined. The cultures responded favorably to high concentrations of serum and to medium which had been preconditioned by contact with tumor cells. After 2-3 days of adaptation, they entered into a period of stability which lasted from the 4th to the 9th day. Macrophage cultures in this stable...
متن کاملEffects of chrysotile on a lysosomal enzyme preparation and on the hydrolytic enzyme activity of cultured alveolar macrophages.
The interaction between chrysotile and three lysosomal enzymes (acid phosphatase, acid RNase and acid protease) in isolated lysosomal enzyme-rich preparations (LEP), from sheep alveolar macrophages maintained in the presence and absence of serum components or pulmonary surfactant at pH 5.0 and pH 7.0 for up to 22 days, is investigated. It is concluded that chrysotile does not inhibit or enhance...
متن کاملStudies using lectins to determine mineral interactions with cellular membranes.
Chrysotile asbestos interacts with mucin-secreting cells of tracheal organ cultures, causing an increase in secretion of mucin into the culture medium. This response occurs in the absence of obvious morphologic damage to tracheal epithelial cells. We speculated that asbestos-induced hypersecretion was regulated by the interaction of fibers with specific carbohydrate residues on the cell surface...
متن کاملKinetics of the bronchoalveolar leucocyte response in rats during exposure to equal airborne mass concentrations of quartz, chrysotile asbestos, or titanium dioxide.
The kinetics of the bronchoalveolar response was assessed in rats exposed, at equal airborne mass concentration (10 mg/m3), to titanium dioxide--a non-pathogenic dust--and the two pathogenic mineral dusts quartz and chrysotile asbestos. Rats were killed at intervals over a 75 day exposure period and groups of rats exposed for 32 and 75 days after recovery for two months. Bronchoalveolar lavage ...
