Discrimination of vanadium from zinc using gene profiling in human bronchial epithelial cells.
Li, Zhuowei; Stonehuerner, Jackie; Devlin, Robert B; Huang, Yuh-Chin T (Environmental health perspectives, 2005-12)We hypothesized that gene expression profiling may discriminate vanadium from zinc in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs). RNA from HBECs exposed to vehicle, V (50 microM), or Zn (50 microM) for 4 hr (n = 4 ... -
Exposure to concentrated coarse air pollution particles causes mild cardiopulmonary effects in healthy young adults.
Graff, Donald W; Cascio, Wayne E; Rappold, Ana; Zhou, Haibo; Huang, Yuh-Chin T; Devlin, Robert B (Environmental health perspectives, 2009-07)BACKGROUND: There is ample epidemiologic and toxicologic evidence that exposure to fine particulate matter (PM) air pollution [aerodynamic diameter < or = 2.5 microm (PM(2.5))], which derives primarily from combustion processes, ... -
Seasonal variations in air pollution particle-induced inflammatory mediator release and oxidative stress.
Becker, Susanne; Dailey, Lisa A; Soukup, Joleen M; Grambow, Steven C; Devlin, Robert B; Huang, Yuh-Chin T (Environmental health perspectives, 2005-08)Health effects associated with particulate matter (PM) show seasonal variations. We hypothesized that these heterogeneous effects may be attributed partly to the differences in the elemental composition of PM. Normal human ...
