Immunoregulation of Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells on the Chronic Cigarette Smoking-Induced Lung Inflammation in Rats

Figure 2

BMSCs mitigate the chronic smoking-induced anti-elastin responses in the lungs of rats. The levels of lung anti-elastin antibodies in rats were measured. Data are the means ± SD of individual groups of rats ( per group) from three separate experiments. versus the control; versus the BMSCs.
