Purified EVs were mixed and incubated with PHK67 (MINI67, Sigma-Aldrich) for 5 min. The staining was stopped with the addition of 2 mL of 10% bovine serum albumin (BSA). Subsequently, EV-free serum medium was supplemented to 8.5 mL, and 1.5 mL of 0.971 M sucrose was slowly added from the bottom of the test tube to ensure that PKH-67-EVs were on top of the sucrose solution. Following centrifugation, EV pellets were resuspended in PBS. Next, SH-SY5Y cells were cultured, the medium was renewed for 48 h, and added with PKH67-labeled EVs at 37 °C for 6 h. Later, the cells were fixed with 4% polytetrafluoroethylene for 15 min, stained with 0.1 g/mL DAPI (C1002, Beyotime, Nantong, China) for 5 min, and then SH-SY5Y cells were placed in a fluorescence microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan) to detect the fluorescence expression.

A Cell-Light EdU fluorescence detection kit (Guangzhou RiboBio Co., Ltd.) was used to detect EdU-positive cells according to the manufacturer's instructions. The cells were seeded into 96-well plates (5,000 cells/well), added with 100 μl medium containing 50 μmol/l EdU, and cultured at 37°C with 5% CO2 for 2 h. The cells were then washed with PBS 3 times and each well was supplemented with 100 μl PBS solution containing 4% paraformaldehyde to fix the cells at room temperature for 30 min. Following PBS washing, each well was supplemented with 100 μl PBS solution containing 0.5% TritonX-100 to increase membrane permeability. Following PBS washing again, each well was added with 100 μl Apollo® staining reaction solution (provided with the kit) and cultured at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. The staining reaction solution was discarded and each well was supplemented with 100 μl DAPI (C1002, Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology, Inc.) at room temperature in the dark for 30 min. Following PBS washing, the staining effect was observed under fluorescence microscope (FSX100, Olympus Corporation) and images were collected. The images were analyzed using Olympus stream system. The total number of nuclei (blue) and proliferating cells (red) were counted respectively. EdU-positive cell rate=proliferating cells/total cells ×100%. The experiment was repeated three times.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
