Figure Lengend Snippet: The expression of SIRT1 in dendritic cells (DCs) was significantly reduced following cigarette smoke treatment when compared with the respective control groups at various time points. Specifically, SIRT1 expression in the CSE-treated DC group was reduced at 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, and 48 h compared to that in the untreated DC group at the corresponding time points (**Comparison with the DC 4 h group, p< 0.01; ***Comparison with the DC 4 h group, p < 0.001; ****Comparison with the DC 4 h group, p < 0.0001; ###Comparison with the DC 12 h group, p < 0.001; $$$$Comparison with the DC 24 h group, p < 0.0001; §§§§Comparison with the DC 36 h group, p < 0.0001; &&&&Comparison with the DC 48 h group, p < 0.0001). For western blot analyses, values are given as mean ± SD of at least three independent experiments (n = 3), and the results were analyzed using unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-tests.
