"Silica stimulated FAM released less IL-1 than BII or BIII, and induced less fibroblast growth than BII, but induced as much as BIII, possibly because of the increased capacity of BIII cells to produce PGE2, which is known to inhibit fibroblast growth."

"We estimated the capacity of FAM (2.5 X 10 (5] to synthesize DNA (3H-thymidine uptake) and RNA (3H-uridine uptake), and the activities of silica stimulated FAM to cause proliferation of mouse thymocytes (IL-1 activity) and rat lung fibroblasts (FP activity), and to produce PGE2."
