pubmed:abstractText |
Cellular interactions of a series of fibrous materials were examined by the use of a well established in vitro system. Primary cultures of hepatocytes were exposed to natural attapulgite, synthetic xonotlite and natural sepiolite. Ultrastructural analyses revealed that hepatocytes can engage in the phagocytosis of all 3 types of fibers over an exposure period of 20 h. Attapulgite fibers were found in plasma membrane invaginations, and deeper in the cytoplasm, in vesicles exhibiting various shapes. Xonotlite was also incorporated in plasma membrane invaginations; furthermore, these fibers were present in large vacuoles where they were circumscribed by membranes and appeared somewhat isolated from the cytoplasm. Sepiolite fibers were also taken up by the cells and could likewise be identified in the previously described structures. These observations point to the relevance of the hepatocyte model for investigating the effects of fibrous materials at the cellular level.
