CEFFE was provided by SEME Cell Technology Co., Ltd (Shanghai, China), and it was extracted from fresh adipose tissues as previously described (24 (link)). Briefly, the fat tissue was washed with saline several times to discard the blood components. Next, the tissue was emulsified mechanically, centrifuged several times to obtain the lowest fluid layer, and stored at –80°C. The protein concentration of CEFFE was measured using a BCA protein kit (Vazyme, China), and the solution was diluted to 3 mg/mL before use.
