3T3L1-exo mediates 3T3L1 preadipocyte osteogenic differentiation. (A) ARS staining was conducted to determine the effects of 3T3L1-exo on 3T3L1 preadipocyte osteogenic differentiation. (B) Reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine the effects of 3T3L1-exo on the expression of osteogenic differentiation-associated genes. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ****P<0.0001.
