Macrophage depletion weakened the therapeutic effect of MSC-TGF-β1 in septic mice. a Depletion of macrophages using clodronate liposomes. b, c Histopathological images of lung tissues in normal or macrophages-depleted septic mice were obtained by H&E (× 400). Scale bar = 100 μm (n = 3, *p < 0.05 vs. the sham group; #p < 0.05vs. the CLP group; &p < 0.05vs. the MSC-NC group). Del, macrophage depletion; MSC-NC, mesenchymal stem cell carrying GFP; MSC-TGF-β1, mesenchymal stem cell carrying transforming growth factor-beta 1
