Protein levels of mediators in lung tissue homogenate. Protein levels of interleukin (IL)-1β, keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC), transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in lung tissue homogenate. CLP animals underwent cecal ligation and puncture, while C mice underwent sham surgery. 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). n = 8/group. *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)
