Chrysotile asbestos stimulates T lymphocyte subsets. Cell surface CD4 or CD45RA expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) was downregulated after incubation with chrysotile asbestos in vitro temporarily. The percentage of CD4+CD45RA+ cells and mean fluorescence intensity in CD4 or CD45RA decreased after incubation with asbestos and returned to the original level after 24 h of incubation, which suggests that chrysotile asbestos activates CD4+CD45RA+ cells. No change was observed in CD29 expression. An increased percentage of IL-2R positive cells and an elevated intracellular Ca++ level were also indicative of the activation of PBMC by chrysotile asbestos.
温石棉可刺激T淋巴细胞亚群。外周血单个核细胞(PBMC)在体外与温石棉孵育后,细胞表面CD4或CD45RA表达暂时下调。与石棉孵育后,CD4+CD45RA+细胞百分比及CD4或CD45RA中的平均荧光强度降低,孵育24小时后恢复至原始水平,这表明温石棉激活了CD4+CD45RA+细胞。CD29表达未观察到变化。IL-2R阳性细胞百分比增加及细胞内Ca++水平升高也表明温石棉激活了PBMC。
