( B ) Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) report of the average distribution of particle size in a representative exosomal sample derived from HCC44 cells; lincRNA-p21 is overexpressed under hypoxic conditions in both ( C ) cell lines and ( D ) EVs. siRNA transfection against lincRNA-p21 under hypoxic conditions reduced its expression in both ( E ) cell lines and ( F ) EVs.

    Functional in vitro assays to evaluate the modulation of angiogenesis and endothelial cell permeability by EV treatment. ( A – D ) Tube formation assay using human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) treated with control EVs in H23 ( A ) and HCC44 ( C ) and lincRNA-p21-silenced EVs in H23 ( B ) and HCC44 ( D ). ( E ) Quantification of relative number of adherent cells in a cell adhesion assay using a monolayer of HUVECs treated for 12 h with control EVs or lincRNA-p21-silenced EVs. ( F , G ) A representative image of HCC44 cell adhesion assay. Blue staining using DAPI indicates nucleus and HCC44 cells were stained with cell tracker in red (20× magnification). ( H , I ) lincRNA-p21 silencing reduced the EV levels of miR-23a, miR-146b, miR-330, and miR-494 in both cell lines. ( J , K ) EV conditioning increases the expression of miR-23a, miR-146b, miR-330, and miR-494 in HUVECs. ( L , M ) EV conditioning increases the expression of lincRNA-p21, GLUT1 , PFKFB3 , and GAPDH in HUVECs. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01.
