One interesting study is called, "Characterization of Platelet-derived Growth Factor and Platelet-derived Growth Factor Receptor Expression in Asbestos-induced Rat Mesothelioma" - Cancer Res January 15, 1992 52; 301 by Cheryl Walker, Edilberto Bermudez, Wendy Stewart, James Bonner, Christopher J. Molloy, and Jeffrey Everitt. Here is an excerpt: "Abstract - Although altered expression of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is a hallmark of human mesothelioma, expression of PDGF receptors has not been characterized in this cell type. In addition, the expression of this growth factor and its cognate receptor in rodent mesothelioma has not been investigated. In this study, examination of transformed mesothelial cells derived from asbestos-induced rat mesotheliomas revealed that these cells expressed high affinity PDGF receptors (Kd = 0.5 nm) and receptor number was 1.6 × 105/cell. Western analysis using antibodies specific for either the α-type or β-type PDGF receptor and Northern analysis using probes specific for α- and β-type receptor RNA transcripts indicated that these cells expressed β-type PDGF receptors but that α-type receptors could not be detected....more

One interesting study is called, "Radiological abnormalities and asbestos exposure among custodians of the New York City Board of Education" by Levin, S.M. ; Selikoff, I.J. - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences; (United States); Journal Volume: 643. Here is an excerpt: "Six hundred sixty custodians employed by the New York City Board of Education underwent examination from 1985 through 1987 for asbestos-related disease and other general medical conditions by the clinical staff of the Division of Environmental and Occupational Medicine of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine of the City University of New York. Two-thirds of the men (no women were examined) were 20 or more years from onset of any custodial work, with 44% having had at least 20 years of employment as custodial workers in New York City Board of Education schools. Twenty-four percent had begun custodial work in buildings 30 or more years earlier. Findings among them were of particular interest since asbestos-related disease might forecast what might be expected among school custodians with less seniority. Since the Board of Education, in selecting custodians for examination, had chosen only...more
