Fig. 1From: Extracellular vesicles derived from different tissues attenuate cardiac dysfunction in murine MI modelsCharacterization of cEVs and nEVs. (A) NTA analysis of the diameter of cEVs and nEVs. (B) Representative TEM micrographs of cEVs and nEVs (scale bar = 100 nm). (C) Representative light scattering microscopy (LSM) images of cEVs and nEVs. (D) Protein analysis of the EVs markers (Tsg 101, Alix, and Calnexin). (E) H&E staining of heart tissue from different groups to assess the biosafety of intramyocardial injection of cEVs and nEVs in vivo. Scar bar:100 μm. (F) Relative mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6, TGF-α, and IL-10 in mice hearts among different groups.
