Figure 5

PG/VG aerosols induce changes in the expression of airway cell markers. (A–D) Relative expression levels of MUC5AC (n = 11 ALI cultures from 11 donors) (A), KRT5 (n = 10 ALI cultures from 10 donors) (B), SCGB1A1 (n = 9 ALI cultures from 9 donors) (C), and FOXJ1 (n = 10 ALI cultures from 10 donors) (D) mRNAs in HBEC exposed to air or PG/VG aerosols for seven days. Statistics: Data shown as median (line), 25th to 75th percentiles (box), and minimum to maximum values (whiskers). *p < 0.05, Wilcoxon test.
