Figure 6

MMP9 mRNA expression in air–liquid interface (ALI) after 24 h UPM exposure in multi co-culture schemes in control subjects, asthma and COPD patients. The data are shown as non-outlier range (whiskers), interquartile range (box) and median (line); p value calculated using Mann–Whitney U test. The p value  < 0.05 in comparison to: a—epithelium, b—epithelium + UPM, c—epithelium + moDCs, d—epithelium + moDCs + UPM, e—epithelium + moMφs, f—epithelium + moMφs (24 h UPM), g—epithelium + moMφs + UPM, h—epithelium + moMφs + moDCs, i—epithelium + moMφs + moDCs + UPM, j—epithelium + moMφs (24hUMP) + moDCs + UPM; ^ asthma versus control, # COPD versus control, *asthma versus COPD.
