Figure Lengend Snippet: Metabolic and extracellular vesicle (EV) biogenesis pathways and reactive oxygen species (ROS) analysis for hMSCs in PBS Vertical-Wheel Bioreactors at 25, 40, and 64 RPM. Various genes were measured by RT-qPCR on the mRNAs isolated from the harvested cells at the end of EV collection (n = 6, results were from two independent bioreactor runs), relative to 2D control. (A) Glycolytic genes; (B) Autophagy genes; Flow cytometry histograms for (C) Total ROS; (D) Mitochondrial ROS; and (E) Autophagosomes. Red line: negative control; blue line: 2D culture control; orange line: 25 RPM bioreactor culture; light green: 40 RPM, and dark green: 64 RPM. (F) ESCRT-dependent EV biogenesis markers; (G) ESCRT-independent EV biogenesis markers. * indicates p < 0.05; ** indicates p < 0.01, *** indicates p < 0.001.
