Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterizations of extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by 0.1L bioreactor-expanded hMSCs. (A) Western Blot of exosomal marker expression, including HSC70, TSG101, CD81, Calnexin (negative marker); HRS, Syntenoin-1, CD81, and CD63. (B) Comparison of EV yield for the number of EVs per mL spent medium (n = 3), (C) Number of EVs normalized to the cell number (n = 3). (D) EV size and distribution determined based on TEM images (n = 50–80). (E) TEM images of EVs for various groups. Scale bars: 100 nm. (F) miRNA expression in the isolated EVs determined by RT-qPCR (n = 6). The value shows ΔΔCt. Results were combined from two independent bioreactor runs. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
Article Snippet: In parallel to bioreactors, Corning CellBIND T-25 cm 2 , T-75 cm 2 , and T-175 cm 2 Rectangular Canted Neck Cell Culture Flasks with Vent Cap were inoculated with hMSCs at 1250 cells/cm 2 and grown in standard culture conditions.
