HO-1/BMMSCs attenuate histopathological injury and hepatocyte death and suppress the activation of the innate immune response in steatotic liver IRI. (a) Pathological HE staining of steatotic liver IRI with BM or HBM treatment. (b) TUNEL staining of steatotic liver IRI with BM or HBM treatment. (c) Serum ALT and AST levels in IRI with BM or HBM treatment. (d) IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β levels detected using ELISA. Representative images of CD68 (e) and MPO (f) immunohistochemical staining. (g) HMGB1/TLR4/p-p65 protein levels assessed using western blotting. (h) Semiquantitative analysis of (g). BM, BMMSCs; HBM, HO-1/BMMSCs. per group. Data are presented as the . ; .
