600 µL of cell supernatants and rat plasma were centrifuged (10,000 × g for 30 min at 4 °C) to remove cell debris, and the supernatant was recovered. For RNA isolation of EVs the exoRNeasy serum/plasma midi kit (Qiagen; Hilden, Germany) was used. During the RNA purification step, the same amount of cel-miR-39 spike-in control was added (Qiagen; Hilden, Germany) according to the provider recommendations and previous publication (Enderle et al., 2015 (link)). The RNA isolated from EVs was immediately converted to cDNA, as described below.
