a Effects of benzeneacetic acid (concentration = 100 nM) on p53, E-Cadherin expression at indicated time points in p53-wt HBE cells. GAPDH was used as the control. b Effects of benzeneacetic acid (concentration = 100 nM) on p53, E-Cadherin expression at indicated time points in p53-KO HBE cells. c Effects of benzeneacetic acid (concentration = 100 nM) on the expression of p53, E-Cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin at indicated time points in p53-wt HBE cells post 12.5 µg/cm² silica treatment. d Quantitative determination of relative E-Cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin expression in HBE p53-wt treated with or without benzeneacetic acid exposure at the indicated time points. GAPDH was used as control. Data are presented as means ± SD from three independent experiments: * p < 0.05 between different groups
