Type II epithelial cells, which line the alveolar surface of the lung, are exposed to a variety of potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic insults. The purpose of this study was to determine if type II cells are susceptible to oxidative DNA damage in vitro. Treatment of cultured rat type II lung epit

We have found that hydrogen peroxide (10^β4^ β 10^β2^ M) rapidly induces microvilli on separate cells and confluent sheets of human retinal pigment epithelium in culture. tβbutyl hydroperoxide and sodium arsenite do not induce microvilli. A role for hydrogen peroxide as an intercellular messenger ha
The mechanisms of the cellular effects and DNA damage caused by asbestos fibers in human mesothelial cells are not well understood. We exposed transformed human pleural mesothelial cells to 1-4 g/cm 2 crocidolite and to 10 -100 ng/ml tumor necrosis factor alpha for up to 48 hr and studied the induct
