Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 6. MUC5AC gene expression in Calu-3 cells after exposure to PLGA/CS, PLGA/PVA, and PLGA/PF68 NPs. Acrolein (0.05 mM) was used as positive control. The data represent the levels of normalized expression in NP-treated Calu-3 cells relative to control (untreated) cells and are reported as mean ± SD (n = 3); *p < 0.05 (acrolein-exposed vs untreated cells).
Article Snippet: To quantify the amount of MUC5AC protein in the washing solutions and in the cell lysates, a commercial ELISA kit was used following the indications of the manufacturer (CUSABIO BIOTECH Co., Ltd.).
