bFGF and HMGB1 release are particle uptake dependent. ELISA was performed on medium of BEAS-2B either or not pretreated with 0.5 μg/mL cytochalasin D for 1h measuring levels of bFGF release (A). B. Western blot analysis showing the effect of cytochalasin D on the release of HMGB1 in the medium following cristobalite silica exposure.
