Induction of Metaphase and Anaphase/Telophase Abnormalities by Asbestos Fibers in Rat Pleural Mesothelial Cells <i>In Vitro</i>
1 Aug 1993
Abstract excerpt
The cytogenetic effects of asbestos fibers on rat pleural mesothelial cells were studied in vitro. Crocidolite UICC significantly enhanced aneuploidy and produced few structural chromosome aberrations, whereas anatase, an isomorphic particle, induced no numerical or structural changes. Mitomycin C (300 nM) produced a tenfold increase in abnormal anaphases compared with controls. Asbestos produced...
