Exosomes downregulated CF by delivering miR-34c-5p during pericyte activation and RIF
(A) (Left) Heatmap of exosomal miRNA and (right) histogram of miR-34c-5p at 0 h, 24 h, and 48 h. Data are the mean ± SD (n = 3). (B) Luciferase reaction between FUT8 and miR-34c-5p. Data are the mean ± SD (n = 3). (C) Representative morphological alterations in pericytes. Scale bar, 200 μm. Also shown are representative images of PDGFRβ (green) and α-SMA (red) staining, and α-SMA (green) and LCA (red) staining in vitro. The right panel shows the quantification. Scale bar, 75 μm. Data are the mean ± SD (n = 3). (D) Representative images of Masson's trichrome and PAS staining of UUO mouse kidney sections. Scale bar, 200 μm. Also shown are representative images of PDGFRβ (green) and α-SMA (red) staining, and α-SMA (green) and LCA (red) staining in vivo. The right panel shows the quantification. Scale bar, 75 μm. Data are the mean ± SD (n = 6).
