The Loss of Cellular Junctions in Epithelial Lung Cells Induced by Cigarette Smoke Is Attenuated by Corilagin

Figure 2

Cells lose intercellular contact after CS exposure. Control cells are well assembled and show the presence of densifications in the contact regions between them (see black arrows). At later time points (12 and 24 hr) the loss of cell-to-cell contact is clear as shown by red arrows. Pictures are taken at different magnifications.
