HGF-Modified Dental Pulp Stem Cells Mitigate the Inflammatory and Fibrotic Responses in Paraquat-Induced Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 1

MSCs promote the viability and proliferation of BEAS-2B cells. (a) Cell viability was measured by CCK8 assays at 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. . (b) Flow cytometric analysis of BEAS-2B proliferation after culture with fresh medium (top) or the supernatant of UC-MSCs (middle) or DPSCs (bottom) and the fluorescence intensity of Dye 670 at 0 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h after staining. (c) Statistical analysis of the control and MSCs groups. . ^# and ^#### vs. Con; ^&, ^&&&, and ^&&&& vs. the DPSCs group. Data are shown as the , and comparisons between groups were measured by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test. Con: control; UC-MSCs: umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells; DPSCs: dental pulp mesenchymal stem cells.
