Effects of MSC EVs on gene expression of immune cells and SGECs after coculture. Human PBMCs and SGECs were cocultured at the ratio of 1 : 1 for 3 days in the presence of 2.5 μg/ml phytohemagglutinin with or without EVs derived from BM-MSCs or iPSC-MSCs (5 μg/ml) and then examined for gene expressions in isolated PBMCs (a) and SGECs (b) by qRT-PCR. ; .
