Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Prevent Aging-Induced Cardiac Dysfunction through a Novel Exosome/lncRNA MALAT1/NF-κB/TNF-α Signaling Pathway

Figure 1

The expression of lncRNA MALAT1 is tissue- and age-specific. (a) Levels of the exosomal surface marker CD63 was determined by Western blot and flow cytometry. (b) Total RNA from exosomes was extracted, and the levels of MALAT1, H19, and Lethe were measured using qRT-PCR. (c) siMALAT1 downregulated the expression of lncRNA MALAT1 in exosomes. (d) The expression of MALAT1 in young and aged hearts was analyzed by qRT-PCR (/group). (e) D-Gal treatment decreased the expression of MALAT1 and increased the expression of p16 in the heart (/group). ns: nonsignificant. , , and .
