FIGURE 3.
Protein secretion profiles of exosomes (EXOs) derived from unprimed hAMSC ctrl and primed hAMSCs under hypoxia (HYP) or IFN-γ. (A) Secretion clusters (z-scores) of both up- and downregulated proteins in EXOs derived from hAMSCs (hAMSC EXOs), hypoxic hAMSCs (HYP EXOs) and IFN-γ-treated hAMSCs (IFN-γ EXOs). (B) Principal component analysis (PCA). (C) Volcano plot analysis (fold change >1.5 and p < 0.05) of secreted protein in HYP EXOs vs. ctrl EXOs and (D) IFN-γ EXOs vs. ctrl EXOs. (E) Venn diagram showing the number of upregulated proteins in HYP EXOs and IFN-γ EXOs. (F) Number of GO-enriched terms associated with upregulated HYP EXO and (G) IFN-γ EXO proteins grouped by category. (H) GO enrichment terms of HYP EXO- and (I) IFN-γ EXO-upregulated proteins; partial list of the 30 most significantly enriched terms.
