Effects of CSS on the production of NOx from A549, mouse AEC, and NHTBE. Cells were incubated with CSS for 24 h (AEC and NHTBE) or 48 h (A549). NOx production was assessed from the supernatants from each condition and cell line. Data are the means of 3 experiments with the mean and S.E.M. expressed as % of control. Baseline mean (SD) NOx of the cell lines were: A549 2.7 +/- 0.16 μM; mouse AEC 1.34 +/- 0.2 μM, and NHTBE 1.56 +/- 0.18 μM. ANOVA was performed on raw data: A549, *p < 0.05; AEC, *p < 0.05, 1% CSS compared with control; NHTBE, *p < 0.01, 1.0-0.5% CSS compared with control, *p < 0.05, 0.25% CSS vs. control; Dunnett's multiple comparison test.
