Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Ameliorate Allergic Airway Inflammation by Inducing Regulatory T Cells in a Mouse Model of Asthma

Figure 3

Effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) on AHR, lung inflammation, and mucus production. Airway reactivity to methacholine challenge (a) and the number of total inflammatory cells and eosinophils (b) was significantly decreased in the OVA+ASC group compared to the OVA group. (c) ASCs treatment decreased the infiltration of eosinophils ((c), (e)) and PAS-positive cells ((d), (f)) around the airway and blood vessel (H&E, PAS ×200).
