Figure 6
Effect of EVs obtained from AMSC cultures on activation of HSCs. Expression levels of (a) α-Sma, (b) Col1a1, (c) Mmp-2, and (d) Timp-1. Data are presented as means ± standard deviation. versus control. AMSC: amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cell; EV: extracellular vesicle; HSC: hepatic stellate cell; α-Sma: α-smooth muscle actin; Col1a1: collagen1a1; Mmp-2: matrix metalloproteinase-2; Timp-1: tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases-1.
