A better understanding of asbestos related diseases is necessary if we are ever to find a cure to Mesothelioma. One interesting study is called, Immunohistochemical localization of transforming growth factor beta isoforms in asbestos-related diseases. By J Jagirdar, T C Lee, J Reibman, L I Gold, C Aston, R Bgin, and W N Rom - Environ Health Perspect. 1997 September; 105(Suppl 5): 11971203. Here is an excerpt: Abstract - Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta), a multifunctional cytokine and growth factor, plays a key role in scarring and fibrotic processes because of its ability to induce extracellular matrix proteins and modulate the growth and immune function of many cell types. These effects are important in inflammatory disorders with fibrosis and cancer. The asbestos-related diseases are characterized by fibrosis in the lower respiratory tract and pleura and increased occurrence of lung cancer and mesothelioma. We performed immunohistochemistry with isoform-specific antibodies to the three TGF-beta isoforms on 16 autopsy lungs from Quebec, Canada, asbestos miners and millers. There was increased immunolocalization of all three TGF-beta isoforms in the fibrotic lesions of...more
