Exosomes of Antler Mesenchymal Stem Cells Improve Postoperative Cognitive Dysfunction in Cardiopulmonary Bypass Rats through Inhibiting the TLR2/TLR4 Signaling Pathway

Figure 6

AMSC-derived exosomes improved CPB-induced POCD in rats via the TLR2/TLR4 signaling pathway. SPF SD male rats were randomly divided into four groups including the sham operation group (sham group); CPB surgery group (CPB group); exosome+CPB group (EXO group); and exosome+CPB group+TLR2/TLR4 agonist group (TLR group) with 10 rats in each group. (a, b) TLR2, TLR4, MyD88, and NF-κB expression in hippocampus tissue in each group was determined by Western blot and qRT-PCR.
