The role of VCAN in HG-HUVEC-Exos-induced VSMCs senescence/calcification. HUVECs were transfected with negative control siRNA (con-siRNA) or VCAN siRNA (VCAN-siRNA) for 6 h and then exposed to HG condition for 48 h. After that, exosomes were isolated and co-cultured with VSMC for 48 h. VSMCs were co-cultured with HUVEC-Exos for 10 days/48 h, calcification/senescence were measured by Alizarin Red Staining/SA-β-gal staining, respectively (400×)
