Objective:
To explore the effects of physical and chemical properties of asbestos on mutagenesis/carcinogenesis.
Methods:
The P53 protein expression in V79 cells exposed to asbestos suspension and filtrate was studied using immunohistochemical method.
Results:
After asbestos suspension and filtrate treatment of V79 cells, the value of hue for indicating P53 protein expression was significantly lowered, and such abnormal expression was especially observed in binucleate cells and polykaryocytes.
Conclusion:
The above data demonstrated that abnormal accumulation of P53 protein in V79 cells was related to asbestos exposure and that asbestos suspension and filtrate had even greater effect on the cells at the segmentation period.
