Cultured Human Airway Epithelial Cells (Calu-3): A Model of Human Respiratory Function, Structure, and Inflammatory Responses
Figure 3
Cell viability for Calu-3 monolayers exposed to normoxia or hyperoxia with or without +20 cmH2O pressure. Cell viability decreased in both pressure-exposed groups () but not in the control and hyperoxia only groups, which were not different from each other at 24 hrs (). By 72 hrs, cell viability was different in all groups, in which hyperoxia-exposed group was less than control group () and greater than both pressure-exposed groups (). Data are ; different from all other groups at the same time point; less than control and hyperoxia groups ( for each condition).
