Exosomes from human and mouse plasma were extracted using an Invitrogen™ Total Exosome Isolation Kit (ThermoFisher, USA) [27 (link)]. Briefly, 200 uL of plasma was mixed with the precipitation reagent provided by the kit and exosomes were isolated according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Maxi Kit (Yeasen Biotech, Shanghai, China) [28 (link)] was employed to isolate exosomal RNAs in samples previously spiked with 25 fmol of C. elegans cel-miR-39 standard RNA (Sangon, Shanghai, China), used as control. The exosomes were stored at -80° C before cell culture experiments and molecular analyses.
