ROS fluorescence intensity. (A) Nanoscale PM2.5 (5, 10 and 20 μg/ml)-protein corona (PC). (B) Nanoscale PM2.5-protein corona/VC (vitamin C-0.1 mg/ml, nanoscale PM2.5–20 μg/ml), nanoscale PM2.5 (20 μg/ml)-protein corona, and TGF-β1 (2 ng/ml) (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with the control). Images of fluorochrome-labelled ROS in 3D-cultured HLFs (magnification = ×10): (C) control (with HLF medium), (D) nanoscale PM2.5-protein corona/VC (vitamin C-0.1 mg/ml, nanoscale PM2.5–20 μg/ml), (E) TGF-β1 (2 ng/ml), and (F-H) nanoscale PM2.5 (5, 10 and 20 μg/ml)-protein corona.
