Figure Lengend Snippet: Pathogenic FLS EVPs disrupt chondrocyte and macrophages homeostasis in vitro. (A) Representative fluorescence for the internalization of EVPs by mouse chondrocytes. Scale bar = 20 µm. The red fluorescence represents EVPs labelled with the MemGlow fluorescent dye, and the blue fluorescence represents nuclei stained with DAPI. (B, C) Representative images and quantification of SA‐β‐gal staining for mouse chondrocytes after co‐culturing with different EVPs for 48 h, blue arrow indicting the SA‐β‐gal positive cells. Scale bar = 200 µm. (D) Representative Western blot images showing the senescence‐associated markers P16 and γ‐H2AX in chondrocytes treated with three types of EVPs for 48 h. (E) mRNA expression for OA‐related genes of mouse chondrocytes after co‐culturing with different EVPs for 24 h. (F–K) Representative images and quantification of COL2A1 and TUNEL staining for mouse chondrocytes, as well as EdU staining for ATDC5 cell line after stimulation with different EVPs for 48 h. Scale bar = 200 µm. (L) Internalization of EVPs by RAW264.7 macrophages. Scale bar = 200 µm. (M) mRNA expression for senescence marker ( Cdkn1a ), M1 polarization‐related genes ( Il6 , Tnf , Nos2 and Ptgs2 ), and M2 polarization‐related genes (Arg1 , Cd163 and Cd206 ) of RAW264.7 macrophages after co‐culturing with different EVPs for 24 h. (N–Q) Representative images and quantification of iNOS and P16 fluorescence staining for RAW264.7 macrophages after stimulation with different EVPs for 48 h. Scale bar = 50 µm. (R, S) Concentration of TNF‐α and IL‐6 in the cell culture supernatant of EVP‐stimulated RAW264.7 macrophages. ** Indicates p < 0.01, * indicates p < 0.05, ns indicates p > 0.05, versus the indicated groups, one‐way ANOVA.

Article Snippet: For EVP labelling and uptake studies, isolated EVPs (2 × 10 10 particles/mL in PBS) were incubated with 40 nM MemGlow dye (MG02, Cytoskeleton) at room temperature, protected from light.
