Scheme of treatment arms. A) Conditioned media treatment arm (male CM n=10, female CM n=9) B) MSC treatment arm (male MSC n=11, female MSC n=9). C) Aortic diameter measured with video micrometry of mice treated with male and female conditioned media and male and female MSC. The same elastase and heat-inactivated elastase (HIE) controls were used for both treatment arms. Female MSC-derived conditioned media, but not male MSC-derived CM had a significant attenuation of AAA formation compared to elastase (p=0.0013). Male MSC had significant attenuation of AAA formation compared to elastase (p=0.008), while female MSC exhibited more significant attenuation of AAA compared to elastase (p=0.0004).
