Functional Characterization of the Hephaestin Variant D568H Provides Novel Mechanistic Insights on Iron‐Dependent Asbestos‐Induced Carcinogenesis
2025-02-08
Abstract excerpt
Local disruption of iron homeostasis leading to oxidative stress is considered one of the main mechanisms of asbestos-dependent cyto-/genotoxicity. Another aspect contributing to the risk of developing pathological consequences upon asbestos exposure is due to individual genetic fac-tors. In a previous study we identified a coding SNP in the hephaestin gene (HEPH) exerting a protective activity against the develop...
