Fig. 4: OGD-treated neurons displayed enhanced internalization of EVs derived from HUVECs.

a HUVECs-derived EVs were labeled with DiI, and incubated with primary neurons. The internalization of DiI-EVs was recorded by live imaging, and shown at 0, 1, 2, and 3 h. b DiI-EVs were incubated with neurons from control group or OGD group for 12 h and observed under a fluorescence microscope. The mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) was determined to compare the difference of fluorescence intensity between the two groups (n = 3). c The level of miR-1290 in neurons incubated with HUVECs-derived EVs for 3 or 12 h was determined (n = 6). Bars = means ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001.
