Figure 9. Inhibiting mitochondrial energetics recapitulates e-cig-induced alteration of OXPHOS units.
Representative immunoblot of mitochondrial complex subunits detected in HFL-1 lysate after incubation with TGF-β1, E-cig, TGF-β1 co-treated with E-cig, PG/VG, E-cig, TGF-β1 co-treated with PG/VG, TGF-β1 co-treated with e-cig condensate for 72 hrs. Densitometry analysis represented in arbitrary units. Data are mean ± SEM, and are a representative of at least three reproducible experiments. *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, ***p ≤ 0.001 significant compared to control group; ##p ≤ 0.01, ###p ≤ 0.001 significant compared to TGF-β1 group.
