5. Supplementary Figure 1. Fas and miR-375 silencing improved INS-1E viability and insulin release. (A-B) Fas silencing after siFas treatment was determined by RT-PCR and western blot, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 compared to untreated group. (C-D) INS-1E cell viability and function was evaluated by MTT assay and static insulin release study, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 compared to stz treated group. (E-F) Gene silencing effect of anti-miR-375 and INS-1E cell function was determined by western blot of Mtpn and static insulin release study, *p<0.05, **p<0.01 compared to untreated group. Data was analyzed by Student’s t-test, n=3

Supplementary Figure 3. Transfection efficacy of plasmid or siRNA to hBMSC or islet. (A) Transfection efficacy of pshFas-anti-miR-375 to hBMSCs using Xfect transfection reagent. Transfection efficacy of siRNA to human islet using lipofectamine 2000 (B) or Xfect (C) transfection reagent was evaluated under fluorescent microscope.
Supplementary Figure 4. hBMSC & PBMC co-cultured exosomes suppressed PBMC proliferation and activation. (A-B) PBMC proliferation were determined by CFSE staining and IL-2, IFNγ, IL-2sRα concentration, **p<0.01 compared to PHA or PHA+hBMSC exosome groups. (C) The immunosuppressive factors including IL-10, VEGF, PGE-2, and TGF-β inside exosomes or medium were measured by ELISA, **p<0.01 concentration of factors in media compared to hBMSC media. Data was analyzed by Student’s t-test, n=3.
