Figure Lengend Snippet: The MDSCs-derived exosomal miR-155-5p promoted migration and invasion of breast cancer cells (A) Schematic illustration of co-incubation of MDSC-derived exosomes (MDSCs-exo) and E0771 cells. (B) Transwell assays to evaluate migration and invasion capacity of E0771 cells after co-culturing with MDSC-derived exosomes. (C–D) The mRNA and protein levels of E-cadherin, Snail, and Slug in E0771 after co-culturing with MDSC-derived exosomes were assessed by qRT-PCR and Western blot. n = 3. (E) Volcano plot showing significantly regulated miRNAs in MDSCs high from the TCGA BC cohort (n = 676). (F–G) The 11 significantly upregulated miRNAs in MDSCs high breast cancer samples were determined by qRT-PCR in E0771 cells co-cultured with MDSC-derived exosomes. (H) Pre-treatment of MDSCs with GW4869 prior to co-culture significantly reduced miR-155-5p levels in E0771 cells. n = 3. (I) The miR-155-5p mimics (50 nM) significantly enhanced migration and invasion of E0771 cells. (J–K) qRT-PCR and Western blot was used to assess the mRNA and protein levels of miR-155-5p, E-cadherin, Snail, and Slug in E0771 cells after transfection of miR-155-5p mimics. n = 3. Data represents mean ± SD. ∗ P < 0.05, ∗∗ P < 0.01, ∗∗∗ P < 0.001.
