Coculture with BMSCs attenuates the activity of LPS to induce expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in alveolar macrophages (a) and HUVECs (b) at the mRNA level. The total RNAs were extracted from the cultured alveolar macrophages and HUVECs treated (1) PBS control, (2) BMSCs, (3) LPS, and (4) BMSCs and LPS. The expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 were determined by real-time RT-PCR. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD from three experiments. , .
