These data demonstrated that the MS-MSC groups had potential therapeutic effects on the LPS-treated ECs; these results might be useful in the treatment of ARDS. We introduced a transwell coculture system to evaluate the effects of MS-MSCs on the paracellular permeability of LPS-treated ECs. Treatment with LPS significantly increased the paracellular permeabil-ity of the pulmonary microvascular endothelium barrier (Figure 6 (a); * * p < 0:01). We demonstrated that mechanical stretch could impact MSC morphology and biological function in a time-and magnitude-dependent manner and that MS-MSCs could restored the increased permeability of endothelial cells induced by LPS. In this study, we tried to discover evidences of mechanically stretched MSCs in restoring increased permeability of endothelial barrier induced by LPS. ./cache/cord-285684-iiqyzqsb.txt ./txt/cord-285684-iiqyzqsb.txt
