From: hADSCs derived extracellular vesicles inhibit NLRP3inflammasome activation and dry eye

hADSC-Evs suppressed NLRP3 inflammasome activation in ocular surface of experimental mice under desiccating stress. (A) Representative image of immunofluorescent staining of NLRP3 related genes in corneal and conjunctival epithelia of desiccating mice or treated with hADSC-EVs (*conjunctiva; open triangle cornea). (B,C) qRT-PCR showed the mRNA levels of NLRP3 related genes in conjunctiva and cornea (four corneas/conjunctivas were mixed as a sample). Data was shown as mean ± SEM. *p < 0.05.
