Luminex assay-based analysis of cytokine and chemokine secretion levels in response to exosomal exposure

Cytokine/Chemokine concentration [pg/ml]
IL-4 IL-9 IL-10 IL-17 G-CSF IP-10 PDGF-B TNF-a MIF SCF
pTGFBR2 0.92 6.21 47.03 23.98 18.90 6.64 255.93 13.62 589.72 85.33
dTGFBR2 0.46 3.73 31.42 15.25 10.06 3.83 40.47 8.53 333.29 33.80
Fold change (pTGFBR2/dTGFBR2) 2.00 1.66 1.50 1.57 1.88 1.73 6.32 1.60 1.77 2.52

Fold change values indicate the ratio of secreted cytokine levels by HepG2 recipient cells upon exposure to exosomes derived from pTGFBR2 HCT116 cells in comparison to exosomes isolated from dTGFBR2 donor cells.
