Pathway analysis depicts that cytokine-cytokine receptor interactions, genes encoding secreted soluble factors, an ensemble of genes encoding extracellular matrix, chemokine receptors which bind distinct chemokines, GPCR ligand binding, cytokine and inflammatory response, chemokine signaling pathway and IL-5 signaling are the most dominant pathways as assessed by transcriptional changes when non-primed and LPS primed MSCs were compared at 6 and 24 h after LPS priming.
