Figure Lengend Snippet: a Representative image of TRPS measurements showing particle size and concentration of S-EVs derived from DU145R80 (R80) cancer cell line (see text). b Upper panels: representative images of Transmission Electron micrograph (TEM) of S-EVs isolated from cell culture media. Magnification 49000X, scale bar 200 nm. The morphology is observed by negative staining. Lower panels: representative images of Immuno Electron micrograph (IEM) of S-EVs, labeled using antibodies specific to αvβ6 integrin and antibody binding was confirmed by Protein A gold-conjugate to 10 nm gold particles. Magnification 120000X, scale bars 100 nm. c Integrin β6 expression by ELISA expressed in terms of fold changes of S-EVs from PC3, A549 and HCT116 compared to R80-derived S-EVs. d Western blot analysis of S-EVs lysates from R80, PC3, HCT116 and A549 and tested with antibodies as indicated in the figure. Both TSG101 and CD81 were tested as positive EVs markers. β actin served as negative control. e Densitometry of Integrin αVβ6/CD81 expression in EVs, expressed as fold changes in either HEK293- or H460- S-EVs compared to PC3-derived S-EVs. Inset shows Western blot analysis of S-EVs lysates from PC3, HEK293 and H460 tested with antibodies as indicated in the figure. Both TSG101 and CD81 were tested as positive EVs markers. ɤ-tubulin served as negative control .
Article Snippet: 25 µg of proteins lysates from cells grown in serum starved condition for 24 h and S-EVs (collected as described in “S-EVs isolation” section) were analysed by SDS-PAGE and Western Blot (WB) performed with antibodies: αvβ6 integrin (1:500 Bioss, bs-5791R), TSG101 (1:500, abcam cat. ab30871), CD81 (1:500, cell signaling #56039), β-actin (1:500, ab30871), γ-tubulin (1:500, sc-17787) Enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) immunodetection reagents were from GE Healthcare.
