Figure Lengend Snippet: Colon cancer progression was affected by M2 macrophage-derived exosomes (A) Immunostaining of expression of M2 macrophage markers (CD68, CD163, and CD206) (×200). (B) Western blot analysis of protein expression patterns of the M2 macrophage markers (CD68, CD163, and CD206). (C) The effect of M2 macrophages on SW48 cell proliferation detected by EdU assay. (D) The effect of M2 macrophages on SW48 cell apoptosis rate measured by flow cytometry. (E) Nanoparticle tracking analysis of particle size of exosomes. (F) The ultrastructure of the exosomes (×5,000) observed under a transmission electron microscope. (G) Western blot analysis of the expression of exosome markers (CD63 and CD81). Control, the supernatant after exosome isolation. Exosome, extracted exosomes. (H) Internalization of M2 macrophage-derived exosomes in SW48 cells (×400). (I) SW48 cell proliferation measured by EdU assay upon coculture with GW4869-treated M2 macrophages. (J) Western blot analysis of exosome-specific marker proteins CD63 and CD81 in SW48 cells cocultured with GW4869-treated M2 macrophages. The data are all measurement data expressed as mean ± standard deviation and compared by independent-sample t test. ∗p < 0.05. The cell experiment was repeated three times.
