Particles internalization, oxidative stress, apoptosis and pro-inflammatory cytokines in alveolar macrophages exposed to cement dust

Highlights • We exposed alveolar macrophages to cement dust samples from Nigeria and USA. • Increased membrane blebbing were observed in cells exposed to cement sample from USA. • Cement dust sample from USA induced increased oxidative stress and apoptosis. • Both cement samples induced increased IL...

Description
Summary:Highlights • We exposed alveolar macrophages to cement dust samples from Nigeria and USA. • Increased membrane blebbing were observed in cells exposed to cement sample from USA. • Cement dust sample from USA induced increased oxidative stress and apoptosis. • Both cement samples induced increased IL-1β and TNF-α but decreased CINC-3 secretion. • The severity of cement dust toxicity may be factory dependent.
