Figure Lengend Snippet: A, Proteomic analysis of VSMC-derived sEVs and EV. Venn diagram. N=3. B, Protein enrichment in the EV and sEV proteome. Heat Map. N=3. C, Western blot validation of sEV cargos. EV and sEV were isolated from VSMC’s conditioned media by differential ultracentrifugation and analysed by western blotting. Representative image from N=3. D, VSMC adhesion is regulated by collagen VI loaded to sEV. FN matrices were incubated with sEV and anti-collagen VI antibody (COLVI IgG) or control IgG. Cell adhesion was tracked by using ACEA’s xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analysis. ANOVA, N=3. E, F, J, sEV promote directional VSMC invasion. VSMCs were treated with control siRNA (Scramble) or collagen VI-specific siRNA pools for 24h and were seeded to the FN-enriched Matrigel matrix in μ-Slide Chemotaxis assay and stained with Draq5. Cell tracking was conducted by OperaPhenix microscope for 12h and cell invasion parameters were quantified using Columbus. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, *, p<0.05 I , Real-time PCR analysis of expression of CD9, CD63, CD81, COL6A3, EDIL3 and TGFBI in atherosclerotic plaque. *, p<0.05, Paired t-test, N=5.
