Increased neutrophil adherence to endothelial cells exposed to asbestos.

Abstract excerpt

Inhalation of asbestos may activate the pulmonary endothelium to promote an inflammatory cell phenotype that participates in the development of pulmonary fibrosis. However, little is known about the effects of asbestos on endothelial cell function. Therefore, endothelial cells were exposed to chrysotile and crocidolite asbestos for up to 72 hr to investigate the effects of noncytotoxic concentrations of asbestos...
