Plasma EVs transport miR-6869-5p into PTECs in vitro. (A) Quantification of miR6869-5P levels in PTECs after co-culture with PBS, Lean-EVs, or Obese-EVs (n = 3). (B) The transfection efficiency of the miR-6869-5p mimic was determined by RT-qPCR (n = 3). Data are presented as mean ± SD; **P < 0.001 vs. PBS, *P < 0.001 vs. Lean-EVs. EVs, extracellular vesicles; PTECs, Proximal tubular epithelial cells.
