1,25(OH)2D3 protected BEAS-2B from oxidative stress, leading to improve mitochondrial function in cells. Pretreatment with 1,25(OH)2D3 for 1 h before PM exposure, the levels of mitochondrial ROS (A), intracellular ROS (B), mtMP (C), ATP (D), mtDNA-CN (E) and cell viability (F) were measured in BEAS-2B cells, respectively. ***P < 0.001 and **P < 0.01 vs. untreated cells (control); ##P < 0.01 and #P < 0.05 vs. PM-stimulated group (n = 3)
