Effect of cigarette smoke on SARS-CoV-2-induced motile ciliary disorder. A Representative transmission electron micrographs of motile cilia axonemes. B mRNA expression of FOXJ1. C mRNA expression of STK36. D mRNA expression of Kif27. E Representative transmission electron micrographs of basal body polarity (red arrows). F Representative transmission electron micrographs of cilia regeneration were shown. Ctrl, control; CSM, cigarette smoke medium; SCoV2, SARS-CoV-2; H, hours. MOI of 0.1 and MOI of 2 were used for analysis of transmission electron micrographs and gene expression respectively. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM (n = 5). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 for One-way ANOVA test with post hoc analysis and Tukey correction
