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

Figure 6

Corilagin prevents the loss of cell-to-cell contacts induced by CS. CS exposure leads to the formation of vesicles inside the cells; piled structures keeping cells together are still visible after 2, 6, and 24 hr from exposure (see black arrows). Pictures are taken at different magnifications.
