A—Dose-dependence of the effect of exNef on cholesterol efflux after 48 h exposure. *p<0.05, **p<0.01 versus control; B—Comparison of the effects of rNef (100 ng/ml) and exNef (0.4 ng/ml) on cholesterol efflux after 48 h exposure; **p<0.01 versus control; C—Comparison of the effects of rNef (100 ng/ml) and exNef (0.4 ng/ml) on total and cell-surface ABCA1 after 48 h exposure (Western blot); D—Comparison of the effects of rNef (100 ng/ml) and exNef (0.4 ng/ml) on cholesterol efflux from murine bone marrow derived macrophages after 48 h exposure; *p<0.05 versus control; E—Comparison of the effects of rNef (100 ng/ml) and exNef (0.4 ng/ml) on total and cell-surface ABCA1 in murine bone marrow derived macrophages after 48 h exposure (Western blot); F–The effect of silencing of Dynamin– 2 on the effect of exNef on the abundance of total ABCA1 (Western blot). Mean ± SEM are shown on graphs (n = 4); G—Comparison of the effects of vehicle, exosomes produced by un-transfected cells (exHEK), exGFP, and exNef (0.4 ng/ml) on cholesterol efflux after 48 h exposure; **p<0.01 versus all other bars; H—Comparison of the effects of vehicle, exosomes produced by un-transfected cells (exHEK), exGFP, and exNef (0.4 ng/ml) on total and cell-surface ABCA1 after 48 h exposure (Western blot); I—Comparison of the effects of exosomes isolated from plasma of uninfected donors (exHIV-) and HIV-infected donors undergoing treatment with ART (exHIV+) (4 μg/ml of exosomal protein, 48 h) on cholesterol efflux; **p<0.01 versus exHIV-; J—Comparison of the effects of exosomes isolated from plasma of uninfected donors (exHIV-) and HIV-infected donors undergoing treatment with ART (exHIV+) (4 μg/ml of exosomal protein, 48 h) on total and cell-surface ABCA1 (Western blot).
