c-RSV-treated HSP-VEGFA-MSC improves pulmonary functions in PPE-induced emphysema mice. Pulmonary functions were evaluated as Penh values in animals that received the PBS control, PPE, or PPE group that received either c-RSV or HSP-VEGFA-MSC with or without c-RSV treatment for 8 weeks following PPE administration on day 14. Whole-body plethysmograph (WBP) was employed and Penh was used as a noninvasive index of airway dysfunction. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Each dot represents an individual mouse with the mean shown for n ≥ 9 per group
