EVs-circHIPK3 derived from MSCs attenuated IL-1β induced chondrocyte injury. A Overexpressed circHIPK3 was observed in MSC EVs based on qRT-PCR. B With chondrocytes treated with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs, the expression of miR-124-3p and MYH9 was detected by qRT-PCR. C MYH9 expression was detected through Western blot post treating chondrocytes with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs. D With chondrocytes treated with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs, the expression change in cartilage genes (Aggrecan, COL2A1, Runx2, Sox9 and MMP-13) was detected by qRT-PCR. E The expression change in key cartilage genes (Runx2, MMP-13, COL2A1, Aggrecan, and Sox9) was detected through Western blot after chondrocytes were treated with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs. F Cell proliferation was detected through EdU experiment with chondrocytes treated with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs. G Transwell experiment was conducted for the detection of cell proliferation after treating chondrocytes with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs. H A flow cytometer was employed for the detection of cell apoptosis after chondrocytes were treated with IL-1β and MSCs-circHIPK3-EVs. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
