Exosomes protect against mitochondrial triggers of apoptosis in Dys-iCMs. (a) Dys1-iCM mitochondria displayed higher levels of Bax (green) positive mitochondria (Mitotracker, red) following stress which was ameliorated following exosome exposure. Exosome exposure also (b,c) prevented stress-induced loss of mitochondrial membrane potential; (d,e) delayed mPTP formation, (f) decreased % caspase positive cells; and (g,h) mitigated stress-induced increases in PI positive nuclei. n = 3/group. *p < 0.05 vehicle stress vs. vehicle no stress, #p < 0.05 exosome exposure vs. vehicle stress.
