hMSCs ameliorated PA‐induced injury in HepG2 cells. Time‐ and dose‐dependent effects of PA on HepG2 cells (A, B). HepG2 cells were incubated with 0.4 mmol/L BSA or PA and cocultured with or without hMSCs, and the cell viability (C), Bcl‐1 and BAX protein levels (D), ATP content (E) and insulin pathway–relative proteins levels (F) were measured after 24 h. BSA‐M represents BSA + MSCs, and PA‐M represents PA + MSCs. Results are presented as means ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < .05 vs the control or BSA group; ^# P < .05 vs the PA group
