图6 体外实验证实PS-NPs暴露引起AT2细胞DNA损伤并上调ATR/Chk1/p53信号通路
Note: A. Immunofluorescence method to detect the effect of PS-NPs on DNA damage of AT2 cells (×1 000). AT2 cells were co-stained with γ-H2A.X (red) and PS-NPs (green) and DAPI (blue). B. qPCR analysis of the expression of ATR/Chk1/p53 signaling pathway and apoptosis-related genes in MLE-12 cells after exposure to PS-NPs. C. Western blotting analysis of the expression and phosphorylation of ATR, Chk1, and p53 proteins after exposure to PS-NPs. P=0.013, P=0.001, P=0.000, P=0.006, P=0.007, P=0.042, P=0.004, P=0.012, compared with the control group. GAPDH—glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
Fig 6 In vitro experiments confirmed the DNA damage induction and the upregulation of the ATR/Chk1/p53 signaling pathway in AT2 cells after PS-NPs exposure
