Fig. 3. Double injection of human mesenchymal stem cells exacerbated levels of T-helper 2 cytokine. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was obtained from the mouse model of acute asthma with and without treatment with hADSCs or hBMSCs and the levels of IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 were measured.

IL = interleukin, CON = control, OVA = ovalbumin, PBS = phosphate buffered saline, hADSC = human adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell, hBMSC = human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell.

^*P < 0.05 compared to the CON group; ^#P < 0.05, ^##P < 0.01, ^###P < 0.001 compared to the OVA+PBS group.
