Different Cellular Response of Human Mesothelial Cell MeT-5A to Short-Term and Long-Term Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes Exposure

Figure 5

MWNCT perturbs cell invasion of MeT-5A cells. MeT-5A cells were exposed to MWCNT at 10 µg/cm² for 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 1 month, and 3 months. After treatments, cells were incubated in the BD BioCoat Matrigel invasion chambers to study the invasion activity. (a) Representative images from three independent experiments (×200-fold). (b) Quantitative data from (a) were presented as mean ± SD. versus control.
