Attribute of exosomes
TEM imagery illustrated the everyday cup-shaped construction of the exosome (Fig. 1a). Constructive expression of CD9 was detected on the exosome floor marker in Western blot outcomes, whereas destructive expression of Calnexin was noticed (Fig. 1b). The NTA approach revealed that the exosomes had a median particle measurement of 149.2 nm, which is inside the beforehand reported vary for exosomes. (Fig. 1c).

Recognized differentially metabolites
On this research, the factors used for detecting differentially metabolites have been fold change (FC ≥ 2 or FC ≤ 0.5) and P<0.05. PCA was carried out to intuitively mirror the metabolic similarity or distinction by extracting principal parts between exosomes group and management group. Within the PCA end result, two teams have been clearly separated at baseline, day 1, day 7, and day 14, respectively (Supplementary Fig. 1). In comparison with the management group, a complete of 45 (Supplementary Desk 1), 114 (Supplementary Desk 2), 49 (Supplementary Desk 3), 39 (Supplementary Desk 4) differentially expressed metabolites have been discovered within the exosome-treated group at baseline, day 1, day 7, day 14, respectively. Of the 45 metabolites at baseline, 22 have been upregulated and 23 have been downregulated, primarily involving lipids and lipid-like molecules, natural acids and derivatives, natural oxygen compounds, and organoheterocyclic compounds. On day 1, there have been 47 upregulated and 67 downregulated metabolites, primarily involving lipids and lipid-like molecules, natural acids and derivatives, organoheterocyclic compounds and benzenoids. On day 7, there have been 21 upregulated and 28 downregulated metabolites, primarily involving lipids and lipid-like molecules. On day 14, there have been 14 upregulated and 25 downregulated metabolites, primarily involving natural acids and derivatives and lipids and lipid-like molecules. Determine 2a-b exhibits the volcano chart and heatmap. The outcomes point out that exosomes have an effect on completely different metabolites at completely different time intervals after getting into the physique of cynomolgus monkeys, particularly on the primary day after intravenous infusion, the differential metabolites in exosomes group and management group elevated considerably.
After making a Venn diagram to match metabolites throughout completely different time intervals, we noticed no vital distinction in 6-Hydroxydopamine at baseline. Nevertheless, vital variations have been discovered at day 1(FC = 0.28), day 7 (FC = 0.49), and day 14 (FC = 0.47). In comparison with the management group, the exosomes group exhibited a lower within the expression of 6-hydroxydopamine. These outcomes counsel that the administration of exosomes led to a lower within the expression of 6-Hydroxydopamine in vivo (Fig. 2c).

Correlation matrix evaluation
To look at the correlation between completely different concentrations of metabolites, we performed a Pearson correlation coefficient evaluation to discover the correlation amongst metabolites, as depicted in Fig. 3. The values within the dots point out the correlation coefficient. The determine exhibits that the interplay relationship of various metabolites varies at completely different time factors, suggesting that exosomes have various results on metabolites at every time level.

Pink and blue characterize constructive and destructive correlations between two metabolites, respectively
Exo-related metabolic pathway evaluation
At baseline, there was no enrichment of differential metabolites within the metabolic pathway. On day 1 (Fig. 4a, d), the capabilities of metabolites related to exosomes have been enriched for 3 metabolic KEGG pathways, together with tryptophan metabolism, choline metabolism in most cancers, and porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism. On day 7 (Fig. 4b, e), two pathways have been discovered, together with sphingolipid metabolism, histidine metabolism. Three pathways have been present in day 14 (Fig. 4c, f), together with choline metabolism in most cancers, sphingolipid metabolism, and biotin metabolism. These findings counsel that exosomes have an effect on metabolic pathways in vivo upon getting into the physique.

Tendencies in exo-related DM adjustments over time
Subsequently, we performed a time-series evaluation to look at the influence of exosomes on metabolites over time. Since exosomes are dissolved in PBS, we used the management group to eradicate the affect of PBS, after which re-screened the differential metabolites at varied time factors in exosomes group for time-series evaluation.
The differential metabolites have been separated into eight clusters (Supplementary Desk 5) to characterize their traits in dynamic adjustments, as proven in Fig. 5a. The heatmap in Fig. 5b gives a real-time overview of the metabolic adjustments of all differential metabolites after the injection of exosomes. Cluster 1 comprise 37 options, primarily involving carboxylic acids and derivatives, fatty acyls. Cluster 2 comprises 46 options primarily involving fatty acyls and carboxylic acids and derivatives. Cluster 3 comprises 63 options primarily involving glycerophospholipids, fatty acyls, carboxylic acids and derivatives, benzene and substituted derivatives. Cluster 4 comprises 57 options, primarily involving carboxylic acids and derivatives and glycerophospholipids. Cluster 5 comprises 53 options, primarily involving fatty acyls, steroids and steroid derivatives, carboxylic acids and derivatives. Cluster 6 comprises 40 options, primarily involving glycerophospholipids, fatty acyls. Cluster 7 comprises 38 options, primarily involving fatty acyls and carboxylic acids and derivatives. Cluster 8 comprises 46 options primarily involving glycerophospholipids, carboxylic acids and derivatives and organooxygen compounds.

Clusters 5, 6 and seven offered a altering mannequin of the down-up-down-up platform. The degrees of these differential metabolites have been decrease, considerably elevated, diminished and elevated beneath the baseline, day 1, day 7, day 14. The differential metabolite ranges in cluster 6 have been low beneath the baseline, considerably greater beneath the day 1, with steep decreases beneath the day 7, adopted by a steep enhance in day 14. Cluster 7 and 5 confirmed comparable traits, with slight enhance at day 14. Clusters 8 and 4 offered a altering mannequin of the up-down-up pattern beneath the baseline, day 1 and day 7. Whereas barely elevated beneath day 14 within the clusters 8, steep decreased beneath day 14 within the clusters 4. Clusters 3 and 1 offered a altering mannequin of the up-down-down-down pattern beneath the baseline, day 1, day 7 and day 14. Clusters 2 offered a altering mannequin of the down-down-up-down pattern beneath the baseline, day 1, day 7 and day 14.
A number of immune-related metabolites, together with hippuric acid, propionylcarnitine, and biliverdin, have been discovered to vary over time. Hippuric acid was situated in cluster 3, whereas propionylcarnitine and biliverdin have been situated in cluster 5. Hippuric acid ranges confirmed a downward pattern on the primary day after administration, whereas propionylcarnitine and biliverdin ranges confirmed an upward pattern. Subsequently, hippuric acid ranges remained comparatively secure. Nevertheless, the degrees of propionylcarnitine and biliverdin returned to their pre-injection ranges on day 7 and day 14. These outcomes counsel that exosomes have an effect on the expression of immune-related metabolites in vivo on the primary day after getting into physique. Nevertheless, the consequences on propionylcarnitine and biliverdin could also be restricted to the primary day after administration, whereas the consequences on hippocampal acid persist for a very long time.
