mRNA expression of cytokines in colon tissue treated with 3D-TMSC-treated groups. IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 levels were significantly lower in the 3D-TMSC-treated group compared with the colitis control group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.005. 3D, three-dimensional; TMSCs, tonsil-derived mesenchymal stem cells; IL, interleukin; PBS, phosphate-buffered saline; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor α.
