Results of mechanical sensitivity assays (mean ± SE). *, At days 10, 20, and 40, the MSC (n = 6) and vehicle (n = 5) groups had significantly greater sensitivity to mechanical stimuli than the wild-type control (n = 2) (p < .01). †, At day 10, the MSC2 (n = 6) group was significantly different from the vehicle (n = 5) group (p = .02). Δ, Compared with MSC or vehicle, MSC2 had significantly less sensitivity to mechanical stimuli (p = .02 and p = .34, respectively, on day 20; p = .019 and p = .0007, respectively, on day 40). MSC2 did not vary significantly from the wild-type control at any of the tested time points. Abbreviations: MSC, conventional mesenchymal stem cells; MSC2, anti-inflammatory mesenchymal stem cells.
