Figure Lengend Snippet: Transformation-induced changes to the protein composition of cell-derived sEVs (A) The morphology of isolated sEVs was assessed using transmission electron microscopy. Images of normal and transformed HBEC-derived sEVs (scale bars, 200 nm). (B) Nanoparticle analysis using tunable resistive pulse sensing of sEVs isolated from HBECs demonstrates that the majority of sEVs have a size range between 30 and 150 nm, and that transformation does not result in an increase in sEV secretion. (C) Western blot of sEVs from HBECs demonstrating the presence of sEV proteins HSP70 and CD63 and the absence of the cell marker calnexin. (D) Label-free mass spectrometry identified 148 proteins with greater abundance in sEVs derived from transformed HBECs (FDR <0.02), of which 15 were annotated as extracellular proteins. (E) Mass spectrometry results were confirmed using ELISA for THBS1, NID1, PTX3, and VCAN in sEVs derived from normal and transformed HBECs. (F) sEVs derived from 22 cancer cell lines including NSCLC (SKMES1, H1650, HCC4006, and H2170), glioblastoma ([GBM], D54, D270, U87, and U118), colorectal cancer ([CRC], HT29 and SW620), breast cancer ([BCa], BT549, MDA231, and MDA436), prostate cancer ([PCa], PC3 and LNCaP), melanoma ([MEL], A375, MAMEL65, and SKMEL28), esophageal cancer ([ECa], OE19), and ovarian cancer ([OVA], A2780, CAOV3, IGROV1, and OVCAR8) showed a clear increase in expression of THBS1, NID1, PTX3, and VCAN in relation to the average levels of sEVs from normal cells ([HBEC] 30KT, HOSE 6.3, and HOSE 17.1). Samples in mass spectrometry and ELISA were measured in triplicate. See also and .

Figure Lengend Snippet: Migration assays were performed using the Boyden chamber method. After transfection of each siRNA into the (A) A549 and (B) MDA231 cells, the cells were incubated for 48 h before the migration assay. The cells that had migrated to the outer side of the membranes within 24 h were fixed and stained. A representative image of a triplicate analysis of each siRNA is shown. Scale bar, 20 µm. siRNA, small interfering RNA; Ctrl, control siRNA; SERF2, small EDRK-rich factor 2; PRKDC, DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit; S100A6, S100 calcium-binding protein A6; SH3GLB1, SH3-domain GRB2-like endophilin B1; CAPNS1, calpain, small subunit 1; PSMB4, proteasome subunit β type-4; RPL11, ribosomal protein L11; RPS7, ribosomal protein S7.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blotting showing the reduction in protein expression following siRNA-induced knockdown of PRKDC and PSMB4. (Top) Protein expression was reduced after transfection of the cells with siRNA for PRKDC (left) and PSMB4 (right) in both the A549 and MDA231 cells. β-actin was used as the loading control, whereas si-NC was used as the negative control. (Bottom) Relative reductions in PRKDC or PSMB4 protein expression were determined using western blot analysis conducted in triplicate. Data are presented as the mean and standard deviation. *P<0.05; **P<0.01. siRNA/si, small interfering RNA; si-NC, siRNA universal negative control; PRKDC, DNA-dependent protein kinase catalytic subunit; PSMB4, proteasome subunit β type-4.
