SiO2 exposure induces collagen I and α-SMA mRNA and protein expression in co-culture system in vitro. a and b Expression of collagen I and α-SMA mRNA in fibroblast in SiO2 exposure co-culture system, mRNA expression of SiO2 treated groups is compared to control group. c Levels of collagen I and α-SMA protein expression in fibroblast were examined by western blotting and normalized to those of GAPDH. d, e and f Collagen I and α-SMA protein expression were measured by IHC (magnification 200×). All values represent the mean ± SD in three separate experiments. *P < 0.05 compared with control group
