Suppression of pterygial fibroblast proliferation induced by M1 macrophage-derived exosomes using preconditioning of M1 macrophages with EGF. Growth curves of pterygial fibroblasts in the absence or presence of M1-derived exosomes (M1 Exo) or EGF (10 ng/mL)-preconditioned M1-derived exosomes (EGF-M1 Exo) over 72 h. Analysis of variance followed by Tuckey’s post-hoc test. N = 4. *p\(\:<\)0.05 (Vehicle vs. M1 Exo) and #p\(\:<\)0.05 (EGF-M1 Exo vs. M1 Exo). EGF, epidermal growth factor.
