Fetal Dermal Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Accelerate Cutaneous Wound Healing by Activating Notch Signaling

Figure 4

FDMSC exosomes activate the Notch signal pathway. (a, b) Western blot analysis of key Notch signaling-related protein levels in ADFs treated with SFM or exosomes. GAPDH served as a loading control. Notch1, Jagged 1, and Hes 1 were upregulated in ADF by exosome treatment. (c) Western blot analysis of Notch ligands in FDMSC exosomes. Jagged 1 is the only Notch ligand expressed in FDMSC exosomes while Jagged 2, Dll-1, Dll-3, and Dll-4 were undetectable. CD63 was used as a loading control of exosomes. Two-tailed Student’s -test was used. , , or .
