Dose-dependent effect of Mn-rods on the cell viability of ( A ) <t>A549</t> and ( B ) Calu-3 cells after 24 and 48 h incubation at 37 °C. Cell viability was assessed using Alamar Blue metabolic assay and expressed as percentage relative to untreated cells (normalized to 100%). Data are shown as means ± SD. n=3. The statistical analysis was conducted using two-way ANOVA, p<0.05 (*), p<0.01 (**) and p<0.001 (***) compared to negative control (untreated cells) for each time point.

Spn-H 2 O 2 modifies mitochondrial morphology, induces aggregation, and promotes mislocalization. Human alveolar A549 cells were either mock-infected or infected with Spn strains and incubated for 8 h at 37°C with 5% CO 2 . Infected cells were stained for mitochondria (green), DNA (blue), and actin (red), imaged via confocal microscopy, and analyzed using Imaris software. Panels ( A and B ) display XY optical-middle sections (0.5 µm) from z-stacks. Panel ( B ) additionally includes XY, XZ (bottom), and YZ (side) optical sections. Three-dimensional reconstructions were generated from z-stacks, with panel ( C ) presenting simultaneous XY and XZ optical sections. Arrows in panels ( B, C ) indicate aggregated mitochondria. Confocal microscopy images are representative of at least three independent experiments. ( D–G ) Imaris software was employed to generate masks from the mitochondrial channel, enabling the assessment of subcellular localization (apical, middle, or basal) and quantification of mitochondrial area (µm²). Panel ( D ) depicts cells infected with strain EF3030, with the top panel showing all z-stacks, highlighting predominant apical mislocalization of mitochondria, and the bottom panel a middle optical section. Panel ( E ) presents three-dimensional images across all conditions as in ( D ), while panel ( F and G ) quantifies mitochondrial area under each infection condition. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM from confocal micrographs of three independent experiments. Statistical significance was assessed using one-way ANOVA with Dunnett’s post hoc test, and **** indicating P < 0.0001.

Magnification: ( A – C ) 50×, scale bar = 100 μm, ( D – F ) 200×, scale bar = 100 μm, and ( G – L ) 400×, scale bar = 50 μm.

Article Snippet: After thawing in liquid nitrogen, human type II alveolar epithelial A549 cells (ATCC CCL-185, Manassas, VA, USA) were cultured in F-12K Nutrient Mixture (Gibco, Waltham, MA, USA) containing 10% FBS and 1% penicillin/streptomycin for three passages.

Effects of miR-7704-enriched EVs on A549 cell proliferation under hyperoxic conditions. ( A ) Cell viability of A549 cells cultured under normoxia or 85% hyperoxia for 0–72 h, treated with control medium, HUCMSC-derived EVs, or miR-7704-enriched HUCMSC EVs, was measured by XTT assay. ( B ) Growth curves indicate that hyperoxia significantly suppresses cell proliferation, whereas treatment with miR-7704-EVs partially restores cell viability compared to the hyperoxia control group. ( C ) A statistical comparison of OD values at 48 and 72 h revealed significant differences between the hyperoxia control and normoxia groups, as well as between the hyperoxia control and HUCMSC-EV-treated groups. In contrast, miR-7704-EV treatment showed attenuated hyperoxia-induced growth inhibition. Data are presented as the mean ± standard deviation (SD) ( n = 3); p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Western Blotting of Apoptosis Pathway after EV Therapy in BPD Model. ( A ) Cleaved-caspase 3 levels were significantly higher in the hyperoxia group compared to the normoxia group. After miR-7704-HUCMSCs-Exo treatment, cleaved-caspase 3 levels decreased significantly. No significant change in the level of cleaved-caspase 3 was observed after HUCMSC-Exo treatment. ( B ) Caspase 7 and FasL levels were significantly higher in the hyperoxia group compared to the normoxia group, while Bcl-2 levels were significantly lower. After miR-7704-HUCMSC-Exo treatment, cleaved-caspase 7 and FasL levels decreased significantly, while Bcl-2 levels increased significantly. No significant changes in FasL and Bcl-2 levels were observed after HUCMSC-Exo treatment. ( C ) No significant changes were observed in caspase 8 and caspase 9 levels in A549 cells under hyperoxic conditions.
