Fig. 5

Balb/c mice were instilled once with either DM-only, MWCNT, or SiO2 at week 0, kept on the normal mouse chow for 1 week, and then put on either a control or 1% DHA diet for 3 weeks. LMP was assessed through detection of (a) IL-1β release directly from AMs ex vivo, (b) cathepsin release within the LLF, and (c) cathepsin B release within the LLF. Data presented as mean ± SEM, n=3–6. *P<0.05, ***P<0.001 ****P<0.0001 compared to DM, + compared to different diet within the same exposure group. Analyses were done with log-transformed data.
