OSCC Exosomes Regulate miR-210-3p Targeting EFNA3 to Promote Oral Cancer Angiogenesis through the PI3K/AKT Pathway

Figure 6

CAL27 delivered miR-210 into HUVECs by secreting exosomes. (a) An exosomal marker was detected by Western blot in exosomes isolated from the CAL27 supernatant. (b, c) Exosomes released by CAL27 were identified using transmission electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analysis. Scale bar, 200 nm. (d) miR-210 was identified to exist in the exosomes. . (e) miR-210 in HUVECs was upregulated after stimulation with CAL27 exosomes. , . (f) Images under a fluorescence microscope showed that miR-210 can be packaged into exosomes, and then, at 37°C, exosomes could be uptaken into HUVECs. At 4°C, exosomes could not be absorbed into cells so that there was no fluorescent light in HUVECs. Scale bar, 20 μm.
