a Relative human mtDNA in mice lungs after treatment with indicated engineered hMSC (n = 3 biologically independent animals). b Heatmap of significantly differentially expressed mitochondria-related genes after the indicated treatments (n = 3 biologically independent animals). c Enriched GO pathways based on the significant differentially expressed genes between Fe-hMSC and Pg-Fe-hMSC. d String analysis identified genes in PF mice treated with Pg-Fe-hMSC that were associated with mitochondrial functions. PCR analyses of differentially expressed mitochondria-related genes of e MT-CO1, f MT-CO2, g MT-ND1, h MT-ND3, i TOMM5, and j TOMM6 after the indicated treatments (n = 3 biologically independent animals for each). Data are presented as means ± SD. Statistical significance was analyzed using ordinary one-way ANOVA.
