Figure Lengend Snippet: Cell viability ( A ) and cell proliferation ( B ) induced by nicotine in HBEpC and/or si-mRNA-α7-HBEpC viability. ( A ): For cell viability, 7500 cells/cm 2 are plated in T25 flask (total cell number 187,000) and treated with nicotine 1 × 10 −7 M, after 1 h cells are washed three times in PBS Ca 2+ and Mg 2+ free and then incubated in drug-free medium for additionally 48 h. Then, cells (detached or floating) are counted after staining with trypan blue dye. ( B ): For cell proliferation 7500 cells/cm 2 are plated in T25 flask and treated with nicotine every 48 h. Cells are detached and viable cells are counted every 12 h. Experiments are performed at least two times in triplicate. Statistical significance is analyzed with one-way ANOVA with multiple-comparison and post hoc test with Bonferroni correction.
