Journal ArticleDOI
Cellular responses to nanoparticles: Target structures and mechanisms
Klaus Unfried,Catrin Albrecht,Lars-Oliver Klotz,Anna von Mikecz,Susanne Grether-Beck,Roel P. F. Schins +5 more
TL;DR: An integrated research protocol is proposed to identify fundamental cellular responses to NP in order to complement current toxicological screening strategies with a mechanism-based approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Compatible Solute Ectoine Protects against Nanoparticle-induced Neutrophilic Lung Inflammation
TL;DR: Ectoine administration inhibited nanoparticle-induced signaling, which is known to be responsible for proinflammatory reactions in rat lung epithelial cells in vitro as well as in vivo, and this group of substances may be used for the prevention of particle-induced airway inflammation in humans.
Journal Article
Distinct Spectrum of Mutations Induced by Crocidolite Asbestos: Clue for 8-Hydroxydeoxyguanosine-dependent Mutagenesis in Vivo
TL;DR: The mutagenicity of crocidolite fibers and the underlying molecular mechanisms were investigated in vivo and striking differences according to mutation types between asbestos-induced mutations and spontaneous mutations were revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ultrafine carbon particles induce apoptosis and proliferation in rat lung epithelial cells via specific signaling pathways both using EGF-R
TL;DR: Investigation of whether proliferation is induced directly by the particles or as a compensation of particle-caused cell death demonstrated that both end points are induced independently by specific signaling pathways.
Journal ArticleDOI
mRNA expression patterns in different stages of asbestos-induced carcinogenesis in rats.
TL;DR: Several genes were upregulated in pretumorous tissues from asbestos-treated rats, in asbestos-induced tumors and in cells treated with asbestos in vitro, indicating that fibers may affect integrin-linked signal transduction and extracellular matrix proteins.
