Hypoxia treatment enhances paracrine effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). The aim of this study was to investigate whether exosomes from hypoxia-treated MSCs (ExoH ) are superior to those from normoxia-treated MSCs (ExoN ) for myocardial repair. Mouse bone marrow-derived MSCs were cultured under hypoxia or normoxia for 24 h, and exosomes from conditioned media were intramyocardially injected into infarcted heart of C57BL/6 mouse. ExoH resulted in significantly higher survival, smaller scar size and better cardiac functions recovery...
