CEFFE was provided by SEME Cell Technology Co., Ltd. (Shanghai, China) and extracted as previously described [15 (link)]. Briefly, the sample was washed with saline several times, and then the clean fat layer was collected, mechanically emulsified and centrifuged to obtain a liquid layer. Finally, the liquid underwent a freeze–thaw process, followed by centrifugation to obtain the liquid layer, which was stored at − 80 °C. The protein concentration of CEFFE was measured by a BCA protein kit (Vazyme, China) and adjusted to 3 μg/μL.
