Chemical compound and disease context of Silicosis

 

Biological context of Silicosis

  • Because p53 is a key transcription factor regulating many important apoptosis-related genes, we hypothesized that p53 may play a key role in silica-induced apoptosis and that abnormal regulation of p53 by silica may contribute to development of lung cancer as well as silicosis [16].
  • To address these specific aims, we compared levels of IgG and IgM in serum and BAL from rats with experimental silicosis induced by inhalation of silica with levels of these immunoglobulins in titanium dioxide (TiO(2))- and sham (air)-exposed controls [17].
  • By summarizing these results, the activity of telomerase is thought to be a very sensitive marker for the evaluation of pathogenicity, showing cellular immortalization in an experimental silicosis model [18].
  • We conclude that silicosis without associated COLD leads to mineral hemodynamic impairment at rest and during exercise, and that airway resistance does not detect impairment of flow as effectively as FEV 1.0 reduction [19].
  • Autoantibodies detectable in the sera of silicosis patients. The relationship between the anti-topoisomerase I antibody response and HLA-DQB1*0402 allele in Japanese silicosis patients [20].
 

Anatomical context of Silicosis

 

Gene context of Silicosis

  • In the present study, we further dissect the exact functions of IL-10 in experimental silicosis [26].
  • We conclude that the major gene for silicosis may be mapped near the HLA-B locus [27].
  • Surfactant-associated proteins (SP-A, SP-B) are increased proportionally to alveolar phospholipids in sheep silicosis [28].
  • CONCLUSION : The axis of IL-12 driving IFN-gamma production is not essential for the full manifestations of silicosis in mice exposed to a crystobalite silica aerosol [29].
  • Anti-caspase-8 autoantibody response in silicosis patients is associated with HLA-DRB1, DQB1 and DPB1 alleles [30].
