Asbestos Inhalation Nitrate Levels and Cellular Mutation When asbestos fibers are broken into small pieces they can be swallowed or inhaled and lead to mesothelioma disease. This disease is responsible for the deaths of thousands of people each year, and consequently is the subject of a great deal of research. One important study is called, "Secreted extracellular domains of macrophage scavenger receptors form elongated trimers which specifically bind crocidolite asbestos" by D Resnick, N J Freedman, S Xu and M Krieger - February 15, 1993 The Journal of Biological Chemistry, 268, 3538-3545. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Macrophage scavenger receptors, which have been implicated in the development of atherosclerosis and other macrophage-mediated events, are trimeric integral membrane glycoproteins whose extracellular domains have been predicted to include alpha-helical coiled-coil, collagenous and globular structures. To elucidate further the structural and functional properties of these receptors, we generated transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells which express secreted extracellular domains of the type I and type II bovine scavenger receptors and developed a...more
