MenSCs attenuate TGF-β1-induced differentiation and proliferation of mouse lung fibroblasts (MLFs). a The mRNA levels of fibronectin, collagen1, and a-SMA stimulated after stimulation with TGF-β1 and coculture with MenSCs (n = 3). b CCK8 assay in MLF cells after stimulation with TGF-β1 and coculture with MenSCs (n = 4/time point). c Immunofluorescence assay in MLFs cells after stimulation with TGF-β1 and coculture with MenSCs (n = 3). Scale bar: 20 μm. Error bars indicate standard deviation of three biological replicates undergoing independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 by one-way analysis of variance
