The toxic effects of man-made mineral fibers (MMMFs) have been evaluated by cell magnetometry using alveolar macrophages (AMs). Recently, on the other hand, the murine macrophage cell line, RAW 264.7, became available and has been used as an in vitro model of AMs. The objective of this study was to determine whether or not cell magnetometry using RAW 264.7 cells can be used to evaluate the toxic effects of MMMFs. RAW 264.7 cells were exposed to one of the MMMFs, potassium octatitanate (PT) or silicon carbide whisker (SiC) at 0, 20, 40 and 60 μg/ml, or chrysotile as a positive control at 0, 15, 20 and 25 μg/ml. The toxic effects of fibers were evaluated by cell magnetometry and LDH assay. For this comparison, AMs were also exposed to chrysotile fibers (CF). In the RAW 264.7 cells exposed to PT 20, 40, 60 or SiC 20, 40, 60, CF 15, 20 and 25 μg/ml, significant delayed relaxation were observed compared with the respective control. In the LDH assay, significant increases in LDH in the supernatant of the cells exposed to PT 20, 40, 60, SiC 20, 40, 60 and CF 15, 20, 25 μg/ml were observed. In AMs exposed to CF 20, 25μg/ml significant delayed relaxation and significant increases in LDH compared with the control were observed. The levels of MMMFs that induced significant differences were similar for cell magnetometry and LDH. The levels of CF that induced significant differences in cell magnetometry and LDH were identical for RAW 264.7 cells and AMs. Our results suggest that cell magnetometry using RAW 264.7 cells is adequate to evaluate the cytotoxicity of exposure to MMMFs.
