Figure Lengend Snippet: (A) IB analysis of PC3-WT and the PC3-CRISPR clones devoid of IFIT3: PC3-IFIT3KO C13 and PC3-IFIT3KO C15 TCL (total cell lysates) (30 µg). TCL were separated using 12.5% SDS–PAGE and examined for the expression of STAT1 and IFIT3 (reducing SDS–PAGE). The IFIT3 membrane (reducing SDS–PAGE) was stripped to visualize Actin. Actin (reducing SDS–PAGE) was used as a protein loading control. Dark and light exposures shown (Top and bottom, respectively). (B) IB analysis of cells expressing the β6 integrin subunit, PC3-CRISPR control cell-derived sEV fractions isolated via density gradients. PC3-CRISPR control TCL (20 µg), PC3-CRISPR control (CRISPR control 100K) sEV lysate (10 µg), and PC3-CRISPR control sEV fraction lysates were separated by using 12.5% SDS–PAGE. Comparable volumes of each sEV fraction were loaded (30 µl). The 10 consecutive sEV fractions have a density of 1.099, 1.113,1.123,1.137, 1.148, 1.162, 1.179, 1.186, 1.193, and 1.210 g/ml, respectively. Expression of the β6 integrin subunit, CD63, CD81 (left panel, non-reducing SDS–PAGE), STAT1, IFIT3, TSG101 and CD9 (right panel, reducing SDS–PAGE) was analyzed in sEV fractions 1 to 10. IFIT3 (right panel, reducing SDS–PAGE) and STAT1 membranes (right panel, reducing SDS–PAGE) were stripped to visualize TSG101 and calnexin (CNX), respectively. CNX expression (right panel, reducing SDS–PAGE) in PC3-CRISPR control TCL, CRISPR control 100K as well as 10 consecutive PC3-CRISPR control cell-derived sEV fractions is shown. CRISPR control 100K sEV lysate was used as input for the density gradient. (C) IB analysis of sEV fractions derived from a PC3-CRISPR clone devoid of IFIT3, designated as PC3-IFIT3KO C13, and isolated via density gradients. PC3-IFIT3KO C13 TCL (20 µg), PC3-IFIT3KO C13 (IFIT3KO C13 100K) sEV lysate (10 µg) and PC3-IFIT3KO C13 sEV fraction lysates were separated using 12.5% SDS–PAGE. Comparable volumes of each sEV fraction were loaded (30 µl). The 10 consecutive sEV fractions have a density of 1.106, 1.110,1.130,1.134, 1.155, 1.169, 1.175, 1.182, 1.182, and 1.189 g/ml, respectively. Expression of the β6 integrin subunit, CD63 and CD81 (left panel, non-reducing SDS–PAGE) is analyzed in sEV fractions 1 to 10. The β6 integrin subunit membrane (left panel, reducing SDS–PAGE) was stripped to visualize calnexin (CNX). CNX expression (left panel, non-reducing SDS–PAGE) in PC3-IFIT3KO C13 TCL, PC3-WT 100K, IFIT3 C13 100K and 10 consecutive PC3-IFIT3KO C13 cell-derived sEV fractions is shown. Expression of STAT1, TSG101 and CD9 (right panel, reducing SDS–PAGE) is analyzed. IFIT3KO C13 100K was the input for the density gradient.
