Cell Type- and Exposure-Specific Modulation of CD63/CD81-Positive and Tissue Factor-Positive Extracellular Vesicle Release in response to Respiratory Toxicants

Figure 4

Effect of 1 mM NAC on EV release and cell metabolic activity during the exposure of BEAS-2B cells to silica () or PM (1.5 m3/ml). Release of (a) CD63+CD81+ EVs, and (b) CD63/CD81/CD9+TF+ EVs, . (c) Cell metabolic activity as determined by the MTT assay, . The box and whisker plots show the median (line in the box), 25th and 75th percentiles (outer lines of the box), and minimal and maximal values (whiskers). compared to the unexposed control (100%).
