MSCs suppressed the expression of pro-inflammatory signaling proteins. a Immunohistochemical comparison of NF-kB, RAGE, TNFα, and IL-1β expressions in lung tissue between MSC- and mock-treated groups. Brownish color stains on the cell nucleus were observed under light microscopy with a X400 magnification, indicating positive expressions of the proteins. b Quantitative comparison; the percentage of positive cells was determined by observation of 5 viewing fields for each tissue section. Data shown are means ± SD of 6 mice. ● indicates significant difference (P < 0.05) between two groups. d pi: days post-inoculation
