Soluble and Insoluble Collagen Changes with MSCs. Whole lung homogenates were obtained from the 4-week chronic asthma model (obtained from the same three studies used for the imaging analysis). Lungs were processed for either soluble (sirius red assay) or insoluble (hydroxyproline Assay). In a and b, the diamond represents a decrease in collagen deposition in response to hMSCs. Each bar is 7 animals representative of a single chronic asthma study (p = 0.06, F variance p = 0.05)
