Cytokine polymorphisms in silicosis and other pneumoconioses.

Molecular and cellular biochemistry - 1 Jan 2002

Abstract excerpt

Silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis are complex multifactorial lung diseases whose etiopathogenesis are not well defined. It is generally accepted that fibrotic lung disorders are mediated by macrophage-derived cytokines and growth factors. There is evidence showing a crucial role for tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-1 (IL-1) in inflammation caused by silica dust and in the transition...
