2017, Toxicology in VitroCitation Excerpt :The main constituents of SRM 1648a are metals, including, but not limited to, aluminum, iron, and sodium, which are known to induce inflammatory cytokines in cells. Previous studies have shown that exposure to SRM 1648a induces cytokine release in lung epithelial cells or macrophages (Becker et al., 1996; Hetland et al., 2004). In the present study, SRM 1648a increased the level of TNF-α in the apical chamber, but not in the basolateral chamber (Fig. 3A and B).
