Exosomal miRNA-21 activates HSCs via PTEN/PDK1/AKT signaling axis. a, b Immunoblotting assays of indicated proteins in HSCs treated with control or exosomes from different tumor cells. c-e Western blotting assays of indicated proteins in HSCs with indicated treatments. Each experiment was performed in triplicate, and data are presented as mean ± s.d. Student’s t-test was used to analyze the data (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001)
