The effect of mMSCs overexpressing TGFβ1 on the histopathology of LPS-induced lung injury in mice. a Typical histopathological images of the lung tissues from mice of all the experimental groups at 3 and 7 days after LPS exposure (HE staining, × 50). b Lung injury score (Smith score) of the lung tissues from mice of all the experimental groups at 3 and 7 days after LPS challenge (n = 3 at each time-point for each group; *p < 0.05 compared with the control group; #p < 0.05 compared with the ARDS group; δp < 0.05 compared with the LPS + mBM-MSC-NC group). ARDS, acute respiratory distress syndrome; mMSCs, mouse mesenchymal stem cells; NC, normal control
