Characterization of ASC-derived EVs and their daughter EVs. (A) Flow cytometry analysis of human ASCs. Cells were stained with anti-CD73, CD90, CD105, CD14, CD34, and CD45 antibodies. (B) ASC-derived EVs expressed common EV markers, including CD9, CD63, and CD81 by Western blotting. (C) Transmission electron microscopy showing ASC-derived lean- and obese-EVs exhibiting the classic “cup-like” morphology. (D) Representative size-distribution curve of lean- and obese-EVs by nanosight tracking analysis (NTA). (E) Quantification of EV concentration and size by NTA (Student’s t-test). *p < 0.05 vs. Lean-EVs.
