Article Title: Thermal power plant proximity alters Olive composition and induces cytotoxicity in human cells
doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-18066-y
Figure Lengend Snippet: The cell viability of BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial cells treated with fruit (up panel) and leaf (down panel) extracts at varying concentrations for 24 h and 48 h. Extracts were obtained from olives grown at different distances from the Yatağan TPP, Deştin Village (farthest location), Central (middle location), and Thermal (Şahinler Village - closest location). Representative cells after the MTT assay are given after leaf extracts for 48 h (images taken by 5x objective of Zeiss AxioVert inverted microscope). Values represent mean ± SEM ( n = 3). * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, and **** p < 0.0001.
Article Snippet: The cells included MCF10A (ATCC, CRL-10317TM) human mammary gland epithelial cells, ARPE-19 (ATCC, CRL-2302TM) human eye retinal pigment epithelial cells, HUVEC (ATCC, CRL-1730TM) primary human umbilical vein endothelial cells, and BEAS-2B (ATCC, CRL-3588TM) epithelial cells isolated from normal human bronchial epithelium.
Techniques: MTT Assay, Inverted Microscopy
