doi: 10.1002/advs.202309133
Figure Lengend Snippet: Tensile stress‐stimulated bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs)‐derived exosomes (Exo TS ) for transmitting the YAP/TAZ‐Notch1/Dll4 circuit to induce type H endothelial cells (THECs) phenotype. A) Transmission electron microscopy images showing the characteristic morphology of exosomes. B) Nanoparticle tracking analysis showing the distribution of particle size of exosomes. C) Western blot analysis showing the exosomal marker expression of BMECs and their exosomes in different groups. D,E) Western blot images D) and quantitative analysis E) revealing the content of exosomal proteins involved in YAP/TAZ‐Notch1/Dll4 circuit. F) Fluorescence images of BMECs after uptake of PKH67‐labeled exosomes. G,H) Western blot images G) and quantitative analysis H) revealing the expression of YAP/TAZ‐Notch1/Dll4 circuit in exosomes‐treated BMECs. I,J) Flow cytometry I) and quantitative analysis J) of THECs phenotype on exosomes‐treated BMECs. K,L) Immunofluorescence staining K) and quantitative analysis L) for evaluating the expression and nuclear translocation of YAP in exosomes‐treated BMECs. M) Concentrations of FGF‐1 and TGF‐β1 in conditioned medium (CM) from exosomes‐treated BMECs. N,O) Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining N) and activity measurement O) of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) after seven days of osteogenic induction with CM treatment. P,Q) Alizarin red S staining P) and quantitative analysis Q) of calcium nodules after fourteen days of osteogenic induction with CM treatment. R,S) Immunofluorescence staining of OSX R) and OCN S) for the evaluation of osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs. T,U) Transwell assay images T) and quantitative analysis U) revealing the chemotaxis of BMSCs in the upper chambers towards BMECs in the lower chambers. ns p > 0.05, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01.
