Time-dependent CXCL8, IL-6, IL-1α, IL-1β and TNF-α gene expression on the apical and basolateral side of 3D tri-cultures after Si10 exposure. The figure shows cytokine expression 3, 6, 10 and 20 h after Si10 exposure (12 and 24 μg/cm2). Gene expression was determined by qPCR, and data presented as fold increase compared to control. Data represent the mean +/−SEM of 3–5 independent experiments.*Statistical significant difference from control at the same time-point P < 0.05
