Sepsis severity score (a) and survival rate (b). a Clinical score evaluated 24 h and 48 h after cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) and sham surgery (C). b Kaplan–Meier survival curves after sham surgery (C) or cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)-induced sepsis over 7 days. At 24 h, the CLP group was further randomized to receive saline (0.05 mL, SAL), adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (AD-MSC; 105 cells) (nonpreconditioned), or preconditioned with eicosapentaenoic acid (AD-MSC-EPA; 105 cells). *Significantly different from the C group (P < 0.05). #Significantly different from the CLP-SAL group (P < 0.05). ‡Significantly different from the CLP-AD-MSC group (P < 0.05)
