Cell signaling and transcription factor activation by asbestos in lung injury and disease

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology
Arti ShuklaBrooke Mossman

Abstract

Signaling pathways initiated at the external cell surface or within the cytoplasm regulate transactivation of transcription factors and gene expression that are causally related to a number of critical cellular outcomes including proliferation, apoptosis, cell survival, and production of inflammatory cytokines. Asbestos, a ubiquitous pathogenic group of mineral fibers, can stimulate gene expression in a variety of cell types in the lung via intracellular signaling pathways. These cell signaling cascades may be initiated through receptor-mediated events or integrins. Alternatively, they may be stimulated by oxidants generated both during phagocytosis of minerals and/or by redox reactions on the mineral surface. Once initiated, these pathways can lead to promotion of gene expression critical to cellular injury, proliferation and inflammation-events leading to the development of fibroproliferative diseases of the lung and pleura. The elucidation and relevance of critical signaling cascades to lung injury or repair following asbestos exposure could aid in developing strategies to prevent or treat asbestos-associated lung and pleural diseases.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.

Calcium & Bioenergetics

Bioenergetic processes, including cellular respiration and photosynthesis, concern the transformation of energy by cells. Here is the latest research on the role of calcium in bioenergetics.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
