Abstract
Treatment of Beas-2B airway epithelial cells with crocidolite asbestos induced tissue factor (TF) mRNA and TF-dependent procoagulant activity. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors UO126 and SB203850 decreased TF expression in both naive and crocidolite-treated Beas-2B cells to the same extent. Calphostin, an inhibitor of classical and novel protein kinase C (PKC) isotypes, reduced TF mRNA in both intact and crocidolite-treated Beas-2B cells by about 50%. Conversely, the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3 kinase) inhibitor LY294002 and a selective PKCzeta inhibitory peptide decreased TF mRNA expression in asbestos-treated cells to a greater extent than in naive cells, suggesting that signaling via this pathway contributes to asbestos-induced TF expression. These results demonstrate that crocidolite asbestos induces TF expression by Beas-2B cells and suggest that the process involves the PI3 kinase-PKCzeta signaling pathway, representing a newly recognized potential mechanism by which asbestos may contribute to lung remodeling.
