Representative photomicrographs of lung parenchyma stained with hematoxylin and eosin (a) of C-Sal, SIL-Sal, SIL-BMMC-healthy, and SIL-BMMC-sil groups. (b) Quantification of the fractional area of granuloma. (c) Diffuse alveolar damage analysis. Control (C) and silicotic (SIL) mice received saline (Sal) or silica and were then treated with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) obtained from healthy or silicotic (sil) donors. Note the presence of granulomas (*) in the SIL groups. Values are means ± SD. n = 9 animals in each group. Bars, 100 μm. *Significantly different from C-Sal (P < 0.05). #Significantly different from SIL-Sal (P < 0.05)
