iPSC-NSCs-derived exosomes supress microglia pyroptosis and promote motor function recovery after SCI in vivo. (A) Schematic diagram of experimental design; (B-C) Typical diagrams of swimming tests in sham group, SCI + PBS and SCI + Exosomes mice at day 28 after injury; (D) BMS scores of sham group, treated with PBS and Exosomes mice during the recovery period 28 days after injury; (E-F) Electrophysiological assessment with MEP analysis in sham group, SCI + PBS, and SCI + Exosomes mice at day 28 post-injury; (G-H) Typical diagrams of footprint tests in sham group, SCI + PBS, and SCI + Exosomes mice at day 28 after injury (n = 5 per group); (I-J) Representative immunofluorescence staining images of GSDMD/Caspase-1 (red) and IBA-1 (green) in sham group and SCI areas at day 7 after injury in SCI + PBS and SCI + Exosomes mice; (K) Quantification of fuorescence intensity of GSDMD and Caspase-1; (L) Western blot analysis of pyroptosis-related protein expression at sham group and day 7 after injury in SCI + PBS and SCI + Exosomes mice; (M) Quantitative analysis of pyroptosis-related protein. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001 (n = 3 per group)
