The internalization of M2-EV-carried miR-342-3p by recipient cells (RCC cells) was further investigated. M2 macrophages were transfected with Cy3-miR-342-3p (GenePharma) using Lipofectamine 3000 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) (serum-free medium) for 6 h, and then the medium was replaced with 10% EV-free serum medium. After further 48-h incubation, the supernatant was collected, and M2-EVs carrying Cy3-miR-342-3p were extracted. The EVs were resuspended by PBS and added to RCC cells. Subsequently, the cells were fixed and washed by PBS, and the cytoskeletons were labeled with Phalloidin-iFfluor 488 Reagent (green, ab176753, 1:1000, Abcam, Cambridge, UK) for 30 min at room temperature. The nuclei were stained with DAPI. Finally, the internalization of EVs-miR-342-3p in RCC cells was validated microscopically by fluorescence microscopy (ECLIPSE E800, Nikon, Japan).

Tracing BMSC-Derived Extracellular Vesicles
To explore the transfer of NEAT1, FITC-NEAT1 (green) was transfected into BMSCs utilizing Lipofectamine 2000 reagent, and BMSC-EVs were then collected as the previous method and added with Dil tag (red). Afterward, the BMSC-EVs were cocultured with chondrocytes for 48 h, and the uptake of BMSC-EVs carrying FITC-NEAT1 by chondrocytes was observed under a fluorescence microscope (ECLIPSE E800, Nikon, Japan).

Microscopic Analysis of Plant Ovules
For control, the ovules at different developmental stages were cleared in Hoyer’s solution (Liu and Meinke 1998 ). First, the plant material was fixed in methanol:acetic acid (3:1) and then washed in decreasing concentrations of methanol (96, 75, and 50%) for 30 min. The material was gradually cleared in Hoyer’s solution. Finally, the samples were examined with Nikon Eclipse E 800 microscope with differential interference contrast optics (DIC).

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.
