title: [The effects of asbestos fibers on the protein kinase C activity in HL-60 cells. The role of free radicals].
abstract: It was confirmed that the function of DMSO as an inducer of cell differentiation was suppressed by co-culture of crocidolite asbestos, using the activity of protein kinase C as indicator, because DMSO reacted with .OH radical released by stimulation with crocidolite and wasted itself. SOD inhibited the effect of crocidolite, because SOD reacted with .O2- released by stimulation with crocidolite and inhibited the subsequent development of .OH.
