Sevoflurane inhibited cell viability of A549 cells. (A) Alamar Blue reduction of naïve, control and sevoflurane-treated A549 cells at 24 h post gas exposure (n=3). (B) Alamar Blue absorbance after inhibition of TGF-βRI/II with LY (LY21) at 24h post gas exposure (n=3). (C) Wound healing at 24 h post sevoflurane exposure in cultures with and without 24 h of 40 μM DDP treatment. Images are X4 magnification. Dashed-line indicates initial wound at t = 0h. (D) Wound/gap closure expressed as percentage remaining wound area at 24h post gas exposure. 24h data naive (n=4), control (n=4), sevo (n=4), naive + DDP (n=3), control + DDP (n=3), sevo + DDP (n=3). N=number of independent experiments. (E) Wound healing after siRNA knockdown of TGF-β1 and OPN at 24h post gas exposure (n=6). SSi=scramble RNA negative control, TSi=TGF-β1 SiRNA-treated, OSi=OPN SiRNA-treated. Data are expressed as mean (SEM) and analysed using one-way ANOVA with Tukey's post hoc test. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.

Effect of sevoflurane on TGF-β1 expression in A549 cells. TGF-β1 expression in A549 cells detected by immunofluorescence staining. Mean fluorescent intensity is displayed as a box and whisker plot with mean plus or minus upper and lower limits (n=6). Data are expressed as mean (SEM) and analysed using Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn's post hoc test.

Sevoflurane exposure enhanced nuclear Smad3 expression in A549 cells. (A) Nuclear Smad3 expression in DDP-treated A549 cells as detected by immunofluorescence staining at 24 h post sevoflurane exposure. Fluorescent intensity of Smad3 displayed as a box-and-whisker plot with mean upper and lower limits. Naive + DDP (n=3), Control + DDP (n=3) Sevo + DDP (n=4). Data were analysed with Kruskal-Wallis with Dunn's post hoc test. ***P<0.001.

Sevoflurane promoted cell viability, chemoresistance and migration of RCC4 cells. (A) Alamar Blue reduction of control and sevoflurane-treated RCC4 cells with and without treatment with DDP at 24 h post gas exposure. (B) Alamar Blue absorbance after LY21 treatment at 24 h post gas exposure, (C) Wound healing at 24h post sevoflurane exposure in cultures with and without 24h of 40 μM DDP treatment. Images are X4 magnification. Dashed-line indicates initial wound at t = 0h. (D) Wound/gap closure expressed as percentage remaining wound area at 24 h post gas exposure. (E) Wound healing after siRNA knockdown of TGF-β1 and OPN at 24h post gas exposure (n=3). SSi=scramble RNA, TSi=TGF-β1 siRNA-treated, OSi=OPN siRNA-treated.

Sevoflurane enhanced TGF-βRII and reduced nuclear Smad3 expression in RCC4 cells. (A) TGF-βRII expression in DPP-treated RCC4 cells was detected by immunofluorescence staining at 24 h post sevoflurane exposure. Fluorescent intensity of TGF-βRII displayed as box-and-whisker plot with mean plus or minus upper and lower limits. Naive + DDP (n=3), Control + DDP (n=4), Sevo + DDP (n=4). (B) Nuclear Smad3 expression in DDP-treated RCC4 cells was detected by immunofluorescence staining at 24 h post sevoflurane exposure. Fluorescent intensity of Smad3 displayed as a box-and-whisker plot with mean plus or minus upper and lower limits. Naive + DDP (n=4), Control + DDP (n=4), Sevo + DDP (n=3). Data were analysed using Kruskal-Wallis with post hoc Dunn's test. **P<0.01, ***P<0.001.
