Hypoxia-Elicited Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Alleviate Myocardial Infarction by Promoting Angiogenesis through the miR-214/Sufu Pathway

Figure 6

miR-214 is involved in MSChyp-sEV-mediated improvement of myocardial repair. (a) Representative echocardiogram of the heart in rats transplanted with PBS, MSChyp-sEVs, MSChyp(NC)-sEVs, and MSChyp(inhib)-sEVs on day 28 post-MI. (b) Rat heart LVEF and LVFE value on various time points of different groups. (c) Representative images of heart sections analyzed with Masson’s staining (). (d) Quantitative data for the left ventricular fibrotic length. (e) CD31 immunofluorescence staining was performed to access angiogenesis at 4 weeks after MI and quantitative data for the capillary density (, ). and .
