| 31638563 | [Exosomes derived from LPS-stimulated macrophages promote TGF-β1-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition of human type II alveolar epithelial A549 cells]. | In comparison with the exosomes derived from untreated naive THP-1 macrophages, exosomes derived from LPS-primed THP-1 cells exhibited an ability to significantly promote TGF-β-induced EMT of A549 cells, as determined by a significantly down-regulated E-cadherin, and an dramatically increased expression of proteins in EMT-related signaling including vimentin, alpha smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), TGF-β1/Smad2/3 signaling proteins Smad2/3 protein and phosphorylated Smad2/3 (p-Smad2/3) and type 1 collagen (Col1). Methods The morphology of exosomes derived from THP-1 macrophages was evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, and the biochemistry properties of exosomes were identified by accessing exosome-specific markers including tumor susceptibility gene 101 (TSG101), accessory protein ALG-2 interacting protein X (ALIX), CD81 and CD9 protein, and the calnexin, a negative control marker absent in exosomes, using an immunoblotting assay. |

| 31755827 | CD81+ Exosomes Play a Pivotal Role in the Establishment of Hepatitis C Persistent Infection and Contribute Toward the Progression of Hepatocellular Carcinoma. | CD81 serves as a coreceptor of viral entry and is found to be enriched in exosomes. |
| 31766102 | Activation of CD137 signaling promotes neointimal formation by attenuating TET2 and transferrring from endothelial cell-derived exosomes to vascular smooth muscle cells. | ECs transduced with the TET2-overexpression lentivirus showed that the activation of endothelial CD137 signaling decreased TET2 expression and the TET2 content in exosomes. |
| 31786017 | Electrochemical immunosensing of nanovesicles as biomarkers for breast cancer. | To achieve that, the exosomes were preconcentrated from cell-culture supernatant (and eventually in human serum) on magnetic particles modified with antibodies against the general tetraspanins CD9, CD63 and CD81, as well as specific receptors of cancer (CD24, CD44, CD54, CD326 and CD340). |
| 31792471 | [Isolation and biological characteristics of exosomes derived from periodontal ligament stem cells]. | The PDLSC-derived exosomes could express the common surface adhesion molecules CD9, CD63, CD81 and TSG101. |
| 31823250 | Transmigration of Tetraspanin 2 (Tspan2) siRNA Via Microglia Derived Exosomes across the Blood Brain Barrier Modifies the Production of Immune Mediators by Microglia Cells. | Furthermore, a decrease in the gene expression levels of the Interleukins, IL-13 and IL-10 and an increase in the gene expression levels for the Fc gamma receptor 2A(FCGR2A) and TNF-α occurred in HTHU-HIV microglial cells These data demonstrate that HTHU exosomes cross the BBB and are efficient delivery vehicles to the CNS. |
| 31885909 | A Method for the Isolation of Exosomes from Human and Bovine Milk. | The key exosomal characteristics of spherical/donut-shaped morphology, the presence of exosomal markers, e.g., FLOT-1 and the tetraspanins, CD9 and CD81), and particle concentration were confirmed in both human and bovine milk exosomes. |
| 31916313 | Traumatic brain injury increases plasma astrocyte-derived exosome levels of neurotoxic complement proteins. | CD81 exosome marker-normalized ADE levels of classical pathway C4b, alternative pathway factor D and Bb, lectin pathway mannose-binding lectin (MBL), and shared neurotoxic effectors C3b and C5b-9 terminal C complex were significantly higher and those of C regulatory proteins CR1 and CD59 were lower in the first week of acute sTBI (n = 12) than in controls (n = 12). |
| 31934115 | Comparison of endothelial cell- and endothelial progenitor cell-derived exosomes in promoting vascular endothelial cell repair. | Both types of exosomes, sized from 30 nm to 100 nm, had sphere-shaped or cupped morphology, and expressed CD63, CD9, and CD81; but the total yield of exosomes (particles/mL) based on number of cells, was 4.2 times higher from EPCs than HUVECs. |
