Role of Lysosomes in Silica-Induced Inflammasome Activation and Inflammation in Absence of MARCO

Figure 7

Effect of silica on acid sphingomyelinase activity. Acid sphingomyelinase activity in WT and MARCO−/− AM, 1 hr after treatment with silica (100 μg/mL). White bars indicate WT AM and grey bars indicate MARCO−/− AM. Triple asterisk indicates compared to WT at corresponding treatment. indicates compared to control at the corresponding mouse strain, per experimental group.
