Human liver stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (HLSC-EVs) downregulate pro-fibrotic genes in mice treated with aristolochic acid (AA). Gene expression levels of α-Sma (A), Col1a1 (B), Tgfb1 (C), and Ltbp1 (D) in mice treated with vehicle alone (control), mice treated with AA, AA mice treated with HLSC-EVs or Fibro-EVs. Data show mean ± SD of n = 7 mice per treatment. ***p < 0.001 AA vs control, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 HLSC-EVs vs AA. No significant differences were observed between AA vs Fibro-EVs.
