An Ex Vivo Study on Release, Uptake, and miRNA Profile of Exosomes in Rat Lens.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To identify the ability of releasing and uptaking exosomes in rat lens and characterize the exosomal microRNA profile of lens-derived exosomes. Methods: The rat lenses were cultured ex vivo and the medium was collected. The exosomes were isolated from medium and measured in size and concentration by nanoflow cytometry (nFCM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and verified with CD63 and TSG101 by Western blot. The miRNAs in exosomes released from lens epithelial cells (LECs) were sequenced. The plasma exosomes labeled by PKH26 were used to verify the exosomes uptake LECs, and their colocalized fluorescence was imaged by confocal microscopy. Results: LECs released numerous exosomes into the medium through the capsule, which contained abundant miRNAs. The most abundant miRNAs included miR-184, let-7c-5p, let-7a-5p, let-7b-5p, let-7f-5p, miR-125a-5p, miR-204-5p, miR-125b-5p, miR-1b, and miR-23a-3p. The LECs but not the lens fibre cells showed exosome uptake. The LECs uptake more PKH26-labeled exosomes at day 7 than day 3 and day 14. Conclusions: Our results suggested that LECs can release and uptake exosomes through the capsule. Exosomes may be an important way for the lens to communicate among LECs, aqueous humour, vitreous body, and other ocular tissues.
