Multi-omics study of silicosis reveals the potential therapeutic targets PGD2 and TXA2
Theranostics, 2021 Rationale: Silicosis is a severe occupational lung disease. Current treatments for silicosis have highly limited availability (i.e., lung transplantation) or, do not effectively prolong patient survival time (i.e., lung lavage).

Estimating Counterfactual Risk Under Hypothetical Interventions in the Presence of Competing Events: Crystalline Silica Exposure and Mortality From 2 Causes of Death. [PDF]
, 2018 Exposure to silica has been linked to excess risk of lung cancer and nonmalignant respiratory disease mortality. In this study we estimated risk for both these outcomes in relation to occupational silica exposure as well as the reduction in risk that ...

Asbestosis and silicosis [PDF]
The Lancet, 1997 Interstitial fibrosis resulting from workplace exposure to asbestos and crystalline silica persists throughout the world despite knowledge of the causes and effective means for prevention. Asbestosis and silicosis occurrence is predictable among people overexposed to dusts in various industries and occupations such as mining, construction ...

The Mechanism and Effect of Autophagy, Apoptosis, and Pyroptosis on the Progression of Silicosis
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Silicosis remains one of the most severe pulmonary fibrotic diseases worldwide, caused by chronic exposure to silica dust. In this review, we have proposed that programmed cell death (PCD), including autophagy, apoptosis, and pyroptosis, is closely ...

Macrophage Autophagy and Silicosis: Current Perspective and Latest Insights
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 Silicosis is an urgent public health problem in many countries. Alveolar macrophage (AM) plays an important role in silicosis progression. Autophagy is a balanced mechanism for regulating the cycle of synthesis and degradation of cellular components. Our

The regulatory effect of pulmonary lymphatic drainage on silicosis fibrosis
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2022 Silicosis is a fibrotic disease caused by long-term inhalation of SiO2 particles that currently has no effective treatment. Earlier studies have suggested that pulmonary lymphatic vessels play a key role in the transport of silica but have not address ...
