TMAO-Activated Hepatocyte-Derived Exosomes Are Widely Distributed in Mice with Different Patterns and Promote Vascular Inflammation

Figure 5

TMAO-Exos promoted the mRNA expressions of inflammatory genes in aortas. TMAO-Exos notably enhanced the mRNA levels of (a) Tnf, (b) Icam1, (c) Sele, and (d) Cox-2. qPCR was used to determine the mRNA expressions (n = 3).  < 0.05 vs. the control-Exos group.
