Effect of CSC on U937-cell derived exosomal proteins and antioxidant properties. (a) Coomassie blue staining patterns of exosomes that were derived from DMSO as Control or cigarette smoke condensate (CSC)–exposed U937 monocytic cells. C-Exo: Control-exosome, CSC-Exo: CSC-exosome. Equal amount of protein (10 µg) was loaded in each well. (b) Western blot of exosomal marker proteins CD63, Alix, and CD81 and cellular marker protein actin. Equal amount of protein (10 µg) was loaded in each lane. C-CE: control-cell extract, CSC-CE: CSC-cell extract, C-Exo: Control-exosome, CSC-Exo: CSC-exosome. (c) Total protein levels of exosomes that are quantified using BCA protein estimation method. Bars indicate mean ± SEM values from three replicates. (d) Total antioxidant capacity of exosomes measured by total antioxidant capacity assay. *Indicates p < 0.05 compared to control.
