Knockdown of miR-21 partially rescue the inhibition of OGD/R-induced NRCM apoptosis by human serum extracellular vesicles. (A) qRT-PCRs for expression of miR-21 in supernatant and EVs extracted from mouse serum. n = 4. (B) Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay for apoptosis in NRCMs (n = 4). Scale bar: 100 μm. (C) Analysis for percentage of TUNEL positive cells (n = 4). (D–F) Western blot for Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase 3, and Cleaved caspase 3, and quantitative analysis for Bax/Bcl-2 and Cleaved caspase 3/Caspase 3 ratio. β-actin was used as a loading control (n = 6). *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. EVs, extracellular vesicles.
