Figure Lengend Snippet: a , c Representative brightfield images of hFOB1.19 spheroids after 2 and 5 days of exposure to PFOA, respectively. Spheroids exposed to 0.02% of vehicle (DMSO) were used as the control. Images were obtained using the Light Lionheart FX Microscope. Scale bar = 200 μm (magnification 10×). b , d Morphological parameters of hFOB1.19 spheroids after 2 and 5 days of exposure to PFOA, respectively. ImageJ software determined area, solidity, circularity, and roundness after 2 and 5 days of exposure to different PFOA concentrations ( n = 31–40), individual biological replicates. P values indicate the results of comparisons between each PFOA-treated group and the control group. Values of p < 0.05 are considered statistically significant.
Article Snippet: The human osteoblast cell line hFOB1.19 (ATCC CRL-11372) was obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, USA) in March 2021.
