Effect of MSC-EVs on growth factor expression in DP cells. (A) Cultured DP cells were treated with MSC-EVs for 24 h, and gene expression was examined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. β-Actin was used as an internal control. (B,C) The relative levels of VEGF and IGF-1 mRNA were quantitated from three independent experiments each. (D,E) VEGF and IGF-1 concentrations in conditioned media after 24 h of MSC-EV treatment were measured by ELISA. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001. Student t-test was used.
