Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) Western blot analysis of 16HBE14o-cells after 24 hours exposure of PFD (perfluorodecalin), and PFOB (Perfluorooctyl bromide) in transwell model. Sample groups from three replicates were arranged with untreated (NT), PFD, and PFOB conditions grouped adjacently for direct comparison. Blots were probed for full length and cleaved PARP (apoptosis marker), SQSTM1 (SEQ), LC3B-I/II (both autophagy markers), with β-actin as the loading control. (B) Quantification of blot intensities normalised to β-actin. Data are presented as bar graphs, with each representing mean ± SEM (n = 3). No significant differences (P>0.05) were observed between the no-exposure group and the perfluorocarbons groups
