Abstract excerpt
Monocytic cells are integral in the pathogenesis of inflammatory disorders. We have shown previously that asbestos-induced p38 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase activation and TNF-alpha expression are mediated by H(2)O(2) in blood monocytes. Due to the high expression and activity of catalase and glutathione peroxidase, normal alveolar macrophages do not respond in a manner similar to that of blood...
