Cytokines and growth factors in lung tissue. Levels of (A) interleukin (IL)-4, (B) IL-5, (C) IL-13, (D) interferon gamma (IFN-γ), (E) transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β), and (F) vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in lung tissue. Control, mice sensitized and challenged with saline; OVA, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin; SAL, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and treated with saline; BMMC-Control, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and treated with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) obtained from control donors, 24 hours after last challenge (2 × 106 cells/mouse); BMMC-OVA, mice sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and treated with BMMCs obtained from OVA donors, 24 hours after last challenge (2 × 106 cells/mouse). *Significantly different from control (P < 0.05). **Significantly different from OVA-SAL mice (P < 0.05). #Significantly different from BMMC-Control mice (P < 0.05). Kruskal–Wallis test followed by Dunn’s test.
