a–o TSG-6 knockdown in MSCs weakened their immunomodulatory effects, and exogenous administration of rmTSG-6 replicated their effects in AH. Serum and hepatic IL-6 (a–c), TNF-ɑ (d–f), Cox2 (g, h), IL-10 (i–k), and TSG-6 (l–n) mRNA and protein; Western blot results of hepatic tissue (o): lane 1, AH; lane 2, AH+MSCs; lane 3, AH+sc-MSCs; lane 4, AH+siTSG-6-MSCs; lane 5, AH+rmTSG-6. Five mice per group were used. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001
