Effect of DHA and BMMSC cotreatment on histopathological features and inflammatory mediators in CBP mice. (a) H&E stain of prostate tissue from C57BL/6 mice in the different groups. The scale bar indicates 50 μm (×200 magnification) and 20 μm (×400 magnification). (b–f) Quantifications of TNF-α, IL-1β, CXCL2, CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11 levels in prostate tissue of all groups were examined using an ELISA assay. ∗∗denotes vs con group, # denotes vs BMMSCs group, and ## denotes vs BMMSCs group. For (b)–(f), mean ± standard errors of means are reported.
