For primary cells derived from SD rats, single cell suspensions were prepared as mentioned in the “Isolation of lung type II pneumocytes cells” section. For cell lines, A549 cells were digested by trypsin without EDTA. The cell concentration was adjusted to 3 × 10 [5 (link)]/mL and stained with a 100ul binding solution containing 5ul annexin V-fluorescein isothiocyanate and 5ul PI solution in a 100ul binding solution. Apoptosis was assayed using a Novo Cyte flow cytometry (Acea Biosciences, San Diego, CA, USA) .
