SCD1 is transferred to HUVECs by EVs. (a) The SCD1 level in MSCsTGF-β1, MSCTGF-β1-EVs transfected with si-NC and si-SCD1, target HUVECs after administrating si-NC-TGF-β1-EVs or si-SCD1-TGF-β1-EVs, and the efficiency confirmed using western blotting and RT-PCR, . (b) NTA of EVs derived from MSCTGF-β1-EVs transfected with si-NC and si-SCD1, . (c) Western blot analysis of EV proteins including TSG101, CD81, CD63, and HSP70, . (d) Representative images of Cy3-labeled EV-SCD1 internalized by HUVECs after administration of MSCTGF-β1-EV-si-NC or MSCTGF-β1-EV-si-SCD1 (left). Quantitative analysis of relative fluorescence intensity (right), . Data are expressed as ; . MSCs: mesenchymal stem cells; EVs: extracellular vesicles; HUVECs: human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
