The effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), MSC-GFP, and MSC-ShHGF on lung vascular permeability. a Representative lung images in different groups at 1, 6 and 24 h after MSC treatment. b Comparison of the lung wet weight to body weight ratio (LWW/BW) in different groups at 1, 6 and 24 h after MSC injection. c Representative images of Evans blue dye leakage from vascular to lung tissues in different groups 1, 6 and 24 h after delivery of MSC. d The quantitative result of Evans blue dye leakage. n = 6. *p < 0.05 vs. the control group; # p < 0.05 vs. the acute lung injury (ALI) group; & p < 0.05 vs. the MSC group. GFP green fluorescent protein, ShHGF hepatocyte growth factor gene knockdown
