Effects of AhR knockdown on growth of HPAECs. A). Cells were treated with the transfection reagent (vehicle: V), the scrambled siRNA (ssRNA; 20 nM) or AhR siRNA (siRNA; 20 nM) for 2 and 4 days. Protein were subjected to Western blotting. Data are expressed as means ± SEM fold of the vehicle. One-way ANOVA was conducted followed by comparisons verse the respective control using the Holm-Sidak method. *Differ from the vehicle (p < 0.05, n = 3). B). After siRNA transfection for 2 days, cells were treated with DMSO (control) or ITE (20 µM) for additional for 2 days followed by the crystal violet cell growth assay. Data are expressed as means ± SEM fold of cell number in DMSO Unpaired Student’s t-test was performed. *Differ from the corresponding DMSO control (p < 0.05, n = 6).
