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

Figure 4

MWNCT affects cell migration. Control MeT-5A cells or MWCNT-treated cells (10 µg/cm² for 24 h, 48 h, 1 month, and 3 months) were grown to confluence, scratched, and then allowed to recover for 24 and 48 h. The dotted lines in all the images showed the locations of cells at time 0 h. (a) Representative images from three independent experiments. Scale bar = 500 μm. (b) Quantitative data from (a) were presented as mean ± SD. versus control, versus short-term MWCNT-treated cells (48 h).
