CSE was obtained as previously described with few modifications.25 In brief, CSE was prepared by bubbling smoke from two filtered cigarettes (3R4F) into a 50 mL centrifuge tube containing RPMI 1640 culture medium (20 mL), aided by vacuum extraction. The extracts obtained were sterilized by filtration (0.22 μm) and considered full concentrations of CSE.
