Detection of inflammatory cells and cytokines in aorta. Staining of macrophages (CD68), inflammatory factors (TNF-α and IL-6), and anti-inflammatory factors (TGF-β and IL-10) in the aorta. The last column of Fig. 3 is a representative display showing that most areas of the aorta did not produce plaques in the treatment group, bar = 100 μm. Expression levels of CD68, TNF-α, and IL-6 were significantly decreased, and IL-10 and TGF-β levels were significantly increased in the UCSCs group compared to the model group. n = 8 in each group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, compared with model group
