Beschreibungen/Notizen
Effects of uranium ore dust on cell proliferation, lipid peroxidation and micronuclei formation were compared with silica (DQ12) and titanium oxide in normal human distal airway epithelial cells (NHDE), human lung cancer cells (A549) and human lung fibroblast cells. Cell proliferation was significantly inhibited with uranium ore dust and silica but not with titanium oxide. Lipid peroxidation was significantly enhanced only with uranium ore dust. Micronuclei formation was significantly stimulated with uranium ore dust in A549 and NHDE cells, but not in fibroblast cells. Silica stimulated micronuclei formation only in A549 cells. The results showed the outstanding effect of uranium ore dust on lipid peroxidation and micronuclei formation in human lung cells compared to silica and titanium dioxide.
