The effect of hiPS-MSC-Exos can be abolished by blockade of PI3K with LY294002. (A)(B) qRT-PCR and western blot analysis. hiPSC-MSC-Exos could not increase the expression levels of PI3K/Akt signaling-related molecules after blockade of PI3K with LY294002. (C) CCK-8 assay. The enhanced prolifierative ability conferred by hiPS-MSC-Exos was abolished by blockade of PI3K with LY294002. (D)(E) Scratched wound assay and quantitative analysis. The enhanced migration ability conferred by hiPS-MSC-Exos was abolished by blockade of PI3K with LY294002. (F)(G) Capillary network formation assay and quantitative analysis. The increased tube formation ability conferred by hiPS-MSC-Exos was abolished by blockade of PI3K with LY294002. * represents statistically-significant difference compared with the control group (P < 0.05). # represents statistically-significant difference compared with the Exos+LY294002 group (P < 0.05).
