Asbestos-induced lung diseases
Translational Research, The Journal of Laboratory and Clinical Medicine, 03/27/09
Kamp DW - This review summarizes the important new epidemiologic and pathogenic information that has emerged over the past several years. Attention is focused on the importance of alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) injury and repair, the role of iron-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS), and apoptosis by the p53- and mitochondria-regulated death pathways. The translational significance of these studies is evident in providing the molecular basis for developing novel therapeutic strategies for asbestos-related lung diseases and, importantly, other pulmonary diseases, such as interstitial pulmonary fibrosis and lung cancer.
