G1: HFD mice treated with blank liposomes ( n = 3); G2: HFD mice treated with HFD-Exos ( n = 3); G3: HFD mice treated with NCD-Exos ( n = 3); G4: NCD mice treated with blank liposomes ( n = 3); G5: NCD mice treated with HFD-Exos ( n = 3); and G6: NCD mice treated with NCD-Exos ( n = 3). l After NCD-Exos labeled with PKH26 were transferred into recipient mice, fluorescence images of the liver, islets, SATs, VATs, and skeletal muscles were observed by in vitro imaging system. Scale bar, 5 mm. m The weight of VATs from HFD mice treated with NCD-Exos, HFD-Exos, or blank liposomes. n Liver triglyceride content of HFD mice treated with NCD-Exos, HFD-Exos, or blank liposomes. o , p ELISA assays of IL-6, IL-1β, and TNF-α expression in VATs and livers of HFD mice treated with NCD-Exos, HFD-Exos, or blank liposomes. Experiments were performed at least in triplicate, and the results are shown as the mean ± s.d. Student’s t-test was used to analyze the data. (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001)

Figure Lengend Snippet: NK-derived exosomal miR-1249-3p mediates cellular insulin sensitivity and inflammation. a Microarray analysis of significantly expressed exosomal miRNAs between NCD-Exos and HFD-Exos was presented in a heatmap. b qRT-PCR assay of miR-1249-3p expression in splenic NK cells, NK-derived exosomes, and circulating exosomes from NCD or HFD mice. c NK cells transfected with a Cy3-labeled miR-1249-3p mimic were co-cultured with 3T3-L1 adipocytes or AML12 cells in a Transwell TM plate (membrane pore = 0.4 mm) plate. Scale bar, 100 μm. d – g After transfecting with miR-1249-3p mimic, miR-NC, inhibitor, and inh-NC, the glucose uptake content of 3T3-L1 adipocytes ( d ) and glucose production content of AML12 cells ( f ) were measured, and the concentrations of IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-1β secreted by 3T3-L1 adipocytes ( e ) and AML12 cells ( g ) were detected by ELISA. Experiments were performed at least in triplicate, and the results are shown as the mean ± s.d. Student’s t -test was used to analyze the data. (* P < 0.05; ** P < 0.01; *** P < 0.001)
