Assessment of Pulmonary Fibrogenic Potential of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes in Human Lung Cells
Figure 7
Effects of MWCNT on cell proliferation and collagen expression in human lung fibroblasts. CRL-1490 cells were left untreated (0) or treated with the indicated concentrations of SD-MWCNT or Survanta only (Surv) and analyzed for (a) cell proliferation by WST-1 assay, (b) collagen I expression by Western blotting, and (c) soluble collagen content by Sircol assay. Plots are mean ± S.D. from 4 independent experiments * versus nontreated control.
