The protective effect of human-induced pluripotent stem cell- endothelial cell-extracellular vesicle (hiPSC-EC-EV) on TNF-α-damaged human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). (A) Representative light microscopy images of the HUVECs in a tube formation assay. (B) Ki67 immunostaining and (C) TUNEL analysis in the HUVECs treated with or without EV and 3-MA in the presence of TNF-α. (D) Western blotting analysis of the autophagy-related protein expression in the HUVECs with different treatments. Data represent mean ± SD from three independent experiments (n = 3). Differences between linked groups were evaluated by a two-tailed Student’s t-test. *p < 0.05 vs. Con; #p < 0.05 vs. PBS; $p < 0.05 vs. EV.
