Characterization of EVs from mouse BALF. BALF was subjected to sequential centrifugation to separate cells, apoptotic bodies, MVs, and EVs. aSize distribution of vesicles in total BALF, MVs, EVs, and EV-depleted supernatant was assayed by NTA. bDifference in release of EVs into BALF from control (saline) and LPS-treated mice. cDetermination of EV size by transmission electron microscopy. dExpression of EV marker proteins CD9, CD63 in EVs. eTNF-α levels in EV-depleted BALF in saline and LPS treatment after 6 h, 3, and 15 days. fComparison of phospholipid content of MVs, EVs, and EV-depleted BALF. The error bars represent the mean ± SEM from five mice in each group. Statistical difference between different treatments calculated by one-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction. b*p ≤ 0.05 LPS versus saline control (e), ***/•••p ≤ 0.001 LPS versus saline control. f***p ≤ 0.001 EV or MV versus EV-depleted BALF. NTA, nanoparticle tracking analysis.
