From: Eosinophils enhance WNT-5a and TGF-β1 genes expression in airway smooth muscle cells and promote their proliferation by increased extracellular matrix proteins production in asthma

Fig. 8

Airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation after co-culture with eosinophils from asthmatic and healthy subjects. Results are shown as median (ranges). Asthma patients, n = 8; healthy subjects, n = 10. *p < 0.05 compared with eosinophils from healthy subjects; #p < 0.05 compared with control ASMC cultured without eosinophils. Proliferation is expressed as the percent increase in Alamar blue reagent reduction compared with control ASMC cultured without eosinophils
