Diabetic sera disrupted the normal exosome signaling pathway in human mesenchymal stem cells in vitro.

Human mesenchymal stem cells were exposed to diabetic sera for 7 days. Cell viability and apoptosis rate were detected by MTT and flow cytometry assays. The expression of key genes such as CD63, Alix, Rab27a, Rab27b, and Rab8b was monitored by real-time PCR.
