description: Additional file 1: Fig. S1. A. Cytoxicity of the PM2.5 on HTM cell. For the PM2.5 collected in Shanghai between Jan 2018 to Dec 2019, cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. The human trabecular meshwork cells were treated with different concentrations of Shanghai PM2.5 (0 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL, 25 μg/mL, 50 μg/mL, 100 μg/mL, 200 μg/mL, or 400 μg/mL) from Shanghai for 48 h (n = 5 cell lines, *P &lt; 0.05, **P &lt; 0.01, ***P &lt; 0.001, by one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). Date are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. B. Expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome-related proteins exposed to PM2.5 collected in Shanghai. After HTM cells were treated by PM2.5 100 μg/mL or 200 μg/mL, relative protein expressions of NLRP3 (n = 3), caspase-1 (n = 3), and GSDMD (n = 3) determined by western blot (*P &lt; 0.05, one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). Date are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. C. ROS production in HTM cells exposed to the PM2.5 collected in Shanghai. Representative ROS fluorescence staining images of Rosup positive control (PC, 500 μg/mL), PBS control group (control), PM2.5 100 μg/mL group (PM2.5) and NAC + PM2.5 group. ROS levels were detected by Reactive Oxygen Species Assay Kit. In each panel, from left to right are bright filed, fluorescence, and merged images of fluorescence and bright field. HTMs were treated with Shanghai PM2.5 100 μg/mL for 48 h, pretreated with or without NAC 3 mM for 2 h. ROS levels were significantly increased in HTMs treated with Rosup positive control and 100 μg/ml PM2.5. Magnification, 5X. Fig. S2. A. Expressions of NLRP3 inflammasome-related mRNA in PM2.5-treated TM cells. qPCR showed mRNA expression of NLRP3 increased significantly after HTMs treated by PM2.5 100 μg/mL or 200 μg/mL (n = 3 cell lines, *P &lt; 0.05, one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). The mRNA expression of caspase-1 decreased after HTMs treated by PM2.5 100 μg/mL or 200 μg/mL (n = 3 cell lines, *P &lt; 0.05, one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). The mRNA expression of IL-1β increased significantly after HTMs treated by PM2.5 100 μg/mL or 200 μg/mL (n = 6 cell lines, *P &lt; 0.05, one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). B. NAC inhibited ROS elevation in Lanzhou PM2.5-treated HTM cells. Representative ROS fluorescence staining images of Rosup negative control (NC, 50 μg/mL), Rosup positive control (PC, 500 μg/mL), PBS control group (control), PM2.5 100 μg/mL group (PM2.5) and NAC + PM2.5 group. ROS levels were detected by Reactive Oxygen Species Assay Kit. In each panel, from left to right are bright filed, fluorescence, and merged images of fluorescence and bright field. HTMs were treated with PM2.5 100 μg/mL for 48 h, pretreated with or without NAC 3 mM for 2 h. ROS levels were significantly increased in HTMs treated with Rosup positive control and 100 μg/ml PM2.5. Magnification, 10X. C, Cytoxicity of the PBS and DMSO on HTM cell. Cell viability was analyzed by CCK-8 assay. The human trabecular meshwork cells were treated with culture medium (control), medium plus PBS, medium plus DMSO and PBS, respectively according to our used dose in the study (n = 5 cell lines, p &gt; 0.05, by one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). Date are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. Fig. S3. A. Effects of fiber-exposure on HTM cell viability. Cell viability were analyzed by cell viability assay (CCK-8). The human trabecular meshwork cells were treated with different concentrations of fiber (0 μg/mL, 5 μg/mL, 20 μg/mL, 30 μg/mL) for 48 h. (n = 6 cell lines, *P &lt; 0.05, by one-way ANOVA, compared with the control). Date are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. B. NLRP3 inflammasome-related protein expressions in glass fibre treated HTM cells. After HTM cells were treated by 30 μg/mL fibers obtained from glass fibre filters that were used for PM collection. Relative protein expressions of NLRP3 and caspase-1 were determined by western blot (n = 3 cell lines, P &gt; 0.05, independent t-tests, compared with the control), which did not differ significantly from control cells. Date are represented as the mean ± standard deviation. Fig. S4. A. Air quality index (AQI) in Lanzhou between May 2016 and Dec 2018. The PM2.5 level ranges from 46 to 163 μg/m3 with an average level of 42.8 μg/m3 from May 2016 to Dec 2018 in Lanzhou. B. Air pollutants in Lanzhou between May 2016 and Dec 2018. The figure shows the concentration of PM2.5 (μg/m3), PM10 (μg/m3), SO2 (μg/m3), CO (mg/m3), NO2 (μg/m3), O3 (μg/m3) in the air from May 2016 to Dec 2018 in Lanzhou.
