Fig. 6From: HIF-1α is a key mediator of the lung inflammatory potential of lithium-ion battery particlesCytotoxicity and HIF-1α stabilization induced by LIB particles in BEAS-2B cells. BEAS-2B cells were exposed to NaCl (control), 30, 100, 300 or 1000 μg/ml of LCO, NCA, NMC 1:1:1, NMC 6:2:2, NMC 8:1:1 or Co3O4. Cytotoxicity was assessed after 24 h (a) by the WST-1 assay. HIF-1α (b) protein contents were measured in cell lysates. (N = 2, n = 4, means ± SEM)Back to article page
