Secretion profile of MSCs from the different groups before and after LPS treatment. MSCs from the ‘Injured’ groups demonstrated diminished capacity to secrete interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α compared with ‘Uninjured’ MSCs. Within each group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure induced significant upregulation of the inflammatory markers, which was most pronounced in the ‘Uninjured’ MSCs. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, **** p < 0.0001.
