Hypo-exos significantly enhance the growth and migration of endothelial cells in vitro compared with Norm-exos. (A) Effects of Hypo-exos and Norm-exos on the viability of endothelial cells analyzed using the CCK-8 assay. (B) Effects of Hypo-exos and Norm-exos on the proliferation of endothelial cells assessed by immunofluorescence staining of Ki67; scale bars = 100 μm. (C) Percentage of Ki67-positive cells (%) quantified in (B). (D) Significantly increased closure of the scratched area in Hypo-exos treated group was observed in wound healing assays; scale bars = 200 μm. (E) Quantification of the rate of scratch closure (%) in (D). (F) Significantly higher number of endothelial cells in Hypo-exos group migrated to the bottom than Norm-exos group verified by Transwell migration assays; scale bars = 200 μm. (G) Quantification of the number of migrated HUVECs in (F). **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
