HPMSCs and analysis of cytokine levels after modeling and treatment of ARDS. Analysis of cytokine levels. Intratracheal injection of LPS increased expression levels the proinflammatory cytokine. In animals of the first and second groups, during the first three days, the levels of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 in the blood serum were significantly increased and remained at the same level during the entire observation period. The introduction of HPMSCs significantly limited the increase of inflammation marker levels in the third group ().
