The effect of CSE+OVA and miR-125b-5p siRNA in mediating oxidative stress and late apoptosis. Percentage of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-producing cells (n = 3) (A) and late apoptotic cells (n = 3) (B) in the THP-1 cell culture model. Percentage of ROS-producing cells (n = 3) (C) and late apoptotic cells (n = 3) (D) in the NHBE cell culture model. In both the THP-1 and NHBE cell culture models, the cells were stimulated with CSE and OVA before and after transfection with 10 µM miR-125b-5p siRNA. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.001
