Comparison of cell health in HCASMCs treated with different types of MPs and controls. In a, cell viability assay and gene expression analysis of p53 b, and BMF in c. Data are presented as the means ± SD. Statistical analysis performed using one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD post-hoc test. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001 compared to CTRL samples. PE: polyethylene; PS: polystyrene. 0w: virgin MP; 4 w: aged-photodegraded MP.
