Exosomes of PASP-PLGA microcapsules affected cartilage differentiation via Smad/RUNX2 signaling pathway. (a-b) The expression of Aggrecan, Collagen II, SOX-9 and TIMP-1 was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot in vitro, respectively. (c-d) The expression of Aggrecan, Collagen II, SOX-9 and TIMP-1 was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blot after treatment with exosomes of PASP-PLGA microcapsules in vivo, respectively. (e) The expression of Aggrecan, Collagen II, SOX-9 and TIMP-1 detected by immunofluorescence with BMP-2 knockdown in vitro. (f) The expression of Aggrecan, Collagen II, SOX-9 and TIMP-1 detected by Western blot with BMP-2 knockdown in vitro. **p < 0.01 vs. control-Exo group. The data were expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
