Figure Lengend Snippet: Stroma components favor tumor cell motility in a miR-214-dependent manner. A – L Wound healing ( A , B , E , F , G , H , I , J ) or transwell ( C , D , K , L ) assays for mouse B16-F10 or EO771 or human MA-2 or 4175-TGL cells were pretreated for 24 h with conditioned medium (CM) or Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) derived from either miR-214 wt and miR-214 over CAFs ( A , C ) or MEFs ( B , D ) or, from either NIH3T3 mouse fibroblasts ( E - H ) or HS5 human bone marrow stroma cells ( I - L ) previously transduced with a miR-214sponge (miR-214 sponge ) or an empty (control) expressing vector. M Wound healing assay for MA-2 cells pretreated for 24 h with EV-depleted Conditioned Medium (CM) or EVs derived from HS5 cells previously transduced with a miR-214sponge (miR-214 sponge ) or an empty (control) expressing vector. All transwell migration assays were evaluated 18 h later; while wound healing motility assays were evaluated 6 h (B16-F10)—18 h (EO771, MA-2)—24 h (4175-TGL) later. All results are shown as mean ± SEM and respectively shown as mean ± SEM of the area (pixels) or distance/time (μm/h of 10 pictures/duplicates) covered by migrated cells. For ( A , B , E , F , G , H ; I , J , M ) experiments were performed at least twice as duplicates and pooled results of two or three experiments are shown. For ( C , D , K , L ) experiments were performed as triplicates and representative experiments are shown. CAFs = cancer associated fibroblasts; MEFs = murine embryo fibroblasts; SEM = standard error of mean. * P ≤ 0.05; ** P ≤ 0.01; *** P ≤ 0.001
