Figure Lengend Snippet: The function of EPCAM + sEV. (A) The western blotting analysis of EPCAM in 293T cells stably transfected with shNC or shEPCAM. The sEVs were isolated from 293T cells stably transfected with shNC or shEPCAM, namely shNC-sEV or shEPCAM-sEV, respectively. TPC-1 and BCPAP cells were treated with shNC-sEV or shEPCAM-sEV; (B and C) TC cell proliferation determined by CCK-8 assays; (D and E) TC cell proliferation determined by colony formation assays; Representative images of migration assays (F and G) and invasion assays (H and I) of TC cells subjected to shNC-sEV or shEPCAM-sEV. The data was analyzed using the Student’s t -test. * P value < 0.05; ** P value < 0.01; *** P value < 0.001; ns: not significant. EPCAM: Epithelial cell adhesion molecule; sEVs: small extracellular vesicles; shNC: lentivirus of negative control short hairpin RNA; shEPCAM: lentivirus of EPCAM short hairpin RNA; TC: thyroid carcinoma; CCK-8: cell counting kit-8; OD450: optical density at 450 nm.
Article Snippet: Human TC cell lines TPC-1 and BCPAP were purchased from Procell Life Science & Technology Co., Ltd. and Fuheng Biology, respectively, and they were authenticated using short tandem repeat (STR) method before experiment.
