Figure Lengend Snippet: A Human lung smooth muscle cells (HLSMCs), lung fibroblasts (HLFs), and small airway epithelial cells (HSAECs) were treated with TFP at the indicated concentrations for 24 h. Human peripheral blood eosinophils and neutrophils were treated with TFP for 2 h. Cell viability was assessed by staining the cells with Annexin V (AnnV) and DRAQ7. Viable cells, AnnV − DRAQ7 − ; apoptotic cells, AnnV + DRAQ7 − ; necrotic/late apoptotic cells, AnnV + DRAQ7 + . HSAECs, n = 6 from three independent experiments; HLSMCs, eosinophils, neutrophils, n = 4 from four independent experiments; HLFs, n = 3 from one individual experiment representative of three independent experiments (One-way ANOVA for HLSMCs, HLFs; Kruskal-Wallis for HSAECs; Friedman test for eosinophils, neutrophils). B – C Bone marrow-derived MCs (BMMCs) and peritoneal cell-derived MCs (PCMCs) treated under the same conditions as in ( A ) for 24 h. BMMCs, n = 5 from two independent experiments; PCMCs, n = 3 from one individual experiment representative of three independent experiments (One-way ANOVA). Untreated (control) cells were used for statistical comparisons to all other groups in all figures. The bar charts show mean values + SEM or median + interquartile range. * P < 0.05; ** P < 0 .01; **** P < 0.0001. D Effect of TFP on DNA degradation. MCs were preincubated with bafilomycin A1 (Baf A1) (20 nM) for 2 h followed by treatment with TFP (10 μΜ) for 2 h. DNA was extracted from MCs and fragmentation was assessed by agarose gel electrophoresis. St standard marker.

SDS-PAGE of lung lysate (1.5 μg/lane) as well as lysates from small intestine (SI) and colon (50 μg/lane) was performed under reducing conditions. Membranes were stained with three different anti-RAGE antibodies; SC A11 (A), AF1145 (B), and AB D01P (C). Membranes were also stained with the respective secondary antibodies only (negative control). GAPDH was used as a loading control.
