BMSCs alleviated the SM-induced inflammatory response in the lung. a Comparison of CCL2, CCL4, CCL5, CXCL5, CXCL10, and M-CSF in SM-exposed mice by Luminex Performance Assays. *p < 0.05 compared with the SM group. b Comparison of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, and TGF-β in the lung tissue of SM-exposed mice as determined by ELISA. c Expression of the cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12, IL-17, and TGF-β in BMSCs cocultured with Raw264.7 cells or splenic cells after SM exposure. *p < 0.05 compared with the SM group; **p < 0.01 compared with the SM group; ***p < 0.001 compared with the SM group
