Figure Lengend Snippet: Hek-WNT11 sEVs induce GSK3β phosphorylation. ( A ) NTA distribution plot of the hydrodynamic diameter size of Hek-WNT11 sEVs. ( B ) The Western blot analysis of the sEVs secreted by wild type and WNT11-HA tag-overexpressing HEK cells shows the presence of the well-established exosomal marker CD63, and the WNT11 or HA tag (10 µg of total proteins were loaded per lane). Molecular weight markers (kDa) are indicated. ( C ) Western blot analysis of GSK3α/β, JNK and β-catenin in C2C12 myotubes treated with increasing concentrations of Hek sEVs (lanes 2–4) or Hek-WNT11 sEVs (lanes 5–7) as indicated in the figure. Non-treated C2C12 myotubes represent the control (lane 1); Tubulin was used as the housekeeping protein. Molecular weight markers (kDa) are indicated. Original, uncropped immunoblots are reported in Additional File - Fig. . ( D ) Expression of GSK3 inactive form e JNK active form was measured as ratio of the phosphorylated isoform/not phosphorylated isoform. The fold change refers to the control condition. *** p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA test followed by Dunnett’s post-hoc test
