Abstract: | Human pulmonary alveolar macrophages were used to quantitate the cytotoxic effect of surface-altered chrysotile asbestos. Little difference was observed in mortality between chrysotile asbestos that was surface-treated to a 42% extent by a hydrophobic organosilane or untreated chrysotile. Little or no effect on mortality was observed when human pulmonary alveolar macrophages were cultured with untreated chrysotile or acid-leached asbestos in the presence of 10 mM dipalmitoyl lecithin. However, when human pulmonary alveolar macrophages were cultured with a hydrophobically-treated (to a 42% or 95% extent) chrysotile asbestos in the presence of 10 mM dipalmitoyl lecithin, a statistically significant decrease in mortality was observed compared to untreated chrysotile. No mutagenic activity was observed when V79 cells were cultured with acid-leached, or 42% hydrophobically-treated chrysotile asbestos, even when human pulmonary alveolar macrophages were included as an activation source. The 95% hydrophobically-treated and acid-leached chrysotile also exhibited decreased binding of benzo[a]pyrene compared to untreated chrysotile asbestos.Abbreviations AHH aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase - B(a)P benzo[a]pyrene - CA chrysotile asbestos - CHO Chinese hamster ovary - DL dipalmitoyl lecithin - DMEM Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium - FBS fetal bovine serum - Or resistance to ouabain - PAH polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon - PAM pulmonary alveolar macrophage - SCE sister chromatid exchangeDeceased. |
