Figure 6From: RETRACTED ARTICLE: Single-wall carbon nanohorns inhibited activation of microglia induced by lipopolysaccharide through blocking of Sirt3TEM images of N9 cells treated with SWNHs. (A) N9 cells treated with SWNHs untreated with LPS as control (×15,000 magnification). Scale bar represents 1 μm. (B) N9 cells cultured onto SWNHs-coated dishes (0.85 μg/cm2) for 48 h pre-treated with LPS (×15,000 magnification). Scale bar represents 1 μm. The size of N9 cells pre-treated with LPS and their nucleus were larger than that of control. The apoptotic bodies were observed in cytoplasm. The size of lysosome and mitochondria in N9 cells pre-treated with LPS (B) were larger than that of control (A). A lot of secretory vesicles could be observed outside of cells treated with SWNHs. All data are represented as mean ± SEM.Back to article page
