Questions and Answers

What is the mechanism of sensitization to nickel?

  • Nickel directly induces activation of non-specific T lymphocytes and macrophages
  • Contact with allergen causes direct activation of antigen-specific T cells in the skin
  • Dendritic cells in the skin internalize and process epicutaneously applied hapten and migrate to the lymph nodes (correct)
  • Keratinocytes and langrhans cells directly activate antigen-specific T cells at the site of contact
  • What is the consequence of asbestos fibers diffusing into the pulmonary alveoli?

  • Secretion of IL1, IL6, and TNF-α leading to chronic inflammation
  • Disruption of MARK activity involved in regulation of mesothelium cell proliferation
  • Release of ROS including OH. from H2O2 by Fenton Reaction (correct)
  • Activation of NF-kB in alveolar rnacrophage and rnesothelial cell
  • How do asbestos fibers damage DNA?

  • Through ROS reactions producing hydroxyl bases and causing mutations (correct)
  • By causing mutations in alveolar macrophages
  • Directly through physical interaction with DNA strands
  • Indirectly through activation of specific T lymphocytes
