Figure Lengend Snippet: RA suppressed the process of FMT in MLFs by downregulating METTL1/WDR4-mediated tRNA m7G modification via exosomes of TC-1 cells. ( A ) The expression of α-SMA was assessed via immunofluorescence staining. Scale bars, 50 μm. ( B ) Cell viability was tested via EdU staining. Scale bars, 50 μm. ( C ) Migration ability was detected by a wound healing assay. Scale bars, 50 μm. The precise n value (number of biologically independent replicates) is 3. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
