Secretion of inflammatory cytokines from astrocytes derived from stressed mice. a Sketch map describes the steps of this experiment, which include astrocyte extraction from the hippocampus of stressed mice by sorting with flow cytometry, NK cell-derived exosome collection from NK cells extracted from unstressed mice and stressed mice, individual inclusion of exosomes with astrocytes, and detection of the concentrations of inflammatory factors released by astrocytes into the medium after a 24-h incubation. b The concentration of IL-1β released by astrocytes in the medium (*P < 0.05 compared with the exo (unstress) group; n = 6). c The concentration of IL-6 released by astrocytes in the medium (*P < 0.05 compared with the exo (unstress) group; n = 6). d The concentration of TNF-α released by astrocytes in the medium (**P < 0.01 compared with the exo (unstress) group; n = 6)
