Mechanism exploration of ADSCs-Exo-mediated injury protection in DN and high glucose-induced apoptosis in MPC5 cells. a Luciferase activity of Smad1 was measured by utilizing dual luciferase reporter assay system. b, c Protein and relative quantitative analysis of Smad1 expression in MPC5 cells treated with NG, MA, HG, and ADSCs-Exo. d, e Protein and relative quantitative analysis of Smad1 expression in control and spontaneous diabetes mice before and after ADSCs-Exo treatment. f, g Protein and relative quantitative analysis of Smad1 expression in MPC5 cells treated with NG, MA, HG, ADSCs-Exo-NC, and ADSCs-Exo-miR-486 inhibitor. h Protein levels of Smad1, caspase3, cleaved-caspase3, p-mTOR, mTOR, p62, Beclin1, and LC3 in MPC5 cells treated with NG, MA, HG-NC, HG-Smad1, ADSCs-Exo, and ADSCs-Exo-Smad1. i Relative quantitative analysis of protein expression in panel h. j Apoptotic MPC5 cells were determined by flow cytometry. k Relative apoptosis rate of MPC5 cells in panel j. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
