doi: 10.1038/s41598-025-31838-w
Figure Lengend Snippet: Characterisation of prostate cancer-derived extracellular vesicles. EVs post differential ultracentrifugation were characterised using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), immunoblotting analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). a ). Particle concentration and size of which three replicates of each sample were analysed by NTA independently. Data analysed by one-way ANOVA test and presented as mean bars (n = 3) ± SEM, the significant p-value is reported; * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01. n.s. = not significant. b ) Representative graphs of prostate cancer EVs distribution from NTA software. c )Immunoblotting analysis of EVs from PC-3, LNCaP and DU 145 cells and cell lysates. Detection of EVs associated positive markers, syntenin, CD63, and negative marker calnexin. SEM images of d ) PC-3 EVs, e ) LNCaP EVs and f) DU 145 EVs with a range of 90 nm to 130 nm (magnification 62000x).
Article Snippet: The androgen-dependent LNCaP metastatic prostate carcinoma cell line (CRL-1740), androgen-independent prostate carcinoma PC-3 cell line (CRL-1435) and androgen-independent prostate carcinoma DU 145 cell line (HTB-81) were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC).
