sEV protein content was measured by BCA, and 10 μg aliquots were used for Western blot analysis. sEVs were lysed in Laemmli buffer at 96°C for 5 minutes to denature proteins, and protein extracts were resolved by SDS-PAGE. Antibodies were tested against albumin (sc-271605, Santa Cruz Biotechnology), apolipoprotein B (ab139401, Abcam), TSG101 (ab125011, Abcam), CD9 (ab58989, Abcam), and ALIX (ab88743, Abcam). Antibodies were chosen according to MISEV 2023 guidelines (21 (link)). Immunostaining against PAX8 (PA 0300, Biopat), a well-known ovarian carcinoma marker, was also incorporated in the Western blot characterization panel. The biological validation used antibodies against STX5 (HPA001358, Sigma-Aldrich) and S100A4 (ab93283, Abcam). Clarity ECL Western Blotting Substrate (Bio-Rad) was used to visualize the bands and developed on the ChemiDoc imaging system (Bio-Rad). The intensity of the immunoreactive bands was quantified by densitometry using ImageJ (NIH).

Total protein extraction was performed using a radioimmunoprecipitation assay solution. Protein concentration was measured using the BCA assay, and an equal quantity of each sample (100 μg) was used for Western blotting. Following SDS-PAGE, the proteins were transferred onto 0.45 µm polyvinylidene difluoride membranes (IPVH00010, Millipore, USA). Membranes were blocked with 5% (w/v) non-fat dry milk in Tris base saline Tween 20 (TBST; 50 mM Tris, pH 8.0, 150 mM NaCl, and 0.1% Tween-20 (v/v)) for 1.5 hours, and then, washed thrice for 10 minutes in TBST, followed by incubation at 4 °C overnight with mouse anti-Alix (ab88743, Abcam), rabbit anti-CD9 (ab223052, Abcam), rabbit anti-Netrin1 (ab126729, Abcam), mouse anti-NF (#2836, Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti-microtubule-associated protein (MAP2) (#4542, Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti-β3-tubulin (#5568, Cell Signaling Technology), rabbit anti-Phox2b (25276-1-AP, Proteintech Group Inc, USA), rabbit anti-Hand2 (abs117611, Absin Bioscience Inc., China), GAPDH (10494-1-AP, Proteintech Group Inc), and Lamin A/C (ab169532, Abcam). Next, the membranes were washed thrice in TBST and incubated with a secondary antibody at room temperature for 2 hours. Following washing with TBST, the reaction was detected using chemiluminescence and the Western Bright ECL detection kit (WBKLS00100, USA).

hBMSCs‐derived EVs were resuspended in pre‐cooled lysis buffer solution containing protease inhibitor cocktail tablets (Roche Life Science, Basel, Switzerland). The lysate was dissolved in 3 × Laemmli's buffer solution, boiled for 5 minutes, analysed by 12% sodium dodecyl sulphate‐polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS‐PAGE) and transferred onto the nitrocellulose membrane. The membrane was then blocked in 0.05% Tween supplemented with 5% skimmed milk and PBS (pH = 7.4), probed with rabbit antibodies (Abcam) to ALIX (ab88743), CD63 (ab216130) and glucose‐regulated protein 94 (GRP94) (ab13509) and re‐probed with diluted horseradish peroxidase‐conjugated secondary antibody of goat anti‐rabbit IgG (ab6721, 1:10000, Abcam). The protein signal was detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) reagents (170‐8280, Bio‐Rad Laboratories Inc, Hercules, CA, USA), with Ponceau red serving as the internal reference.

Extraction of total RNA from indicated tumor tissues or cell lines was done using TRIzol reagent (Takara). Employing 1 μg of total RNA and PrimeScript RT Reagent Kit (Takara), the first-strand cDNA was synthesized. The levels of miRNA were determined by qRT-PCR with SYBR-Green ΙΙ PCR kit (Takara) and U6 snRNA was used as the reference. LncRNA and mRNA concentrations were measured employing SYBR-Green ΙΙ PCR kit (Takara). β-actin was used as the internal control. Supplementary Table S2 shows the sequences of the primers used.
Extraction of protein was from the HCC cells was done using RIPA buffer, and determined using the BCA Protein Assay Kit (Beyotime Biotechnology). Separation of extracted proteins (40 μg per lane) was done by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and the separated proteins were transferred to polyvinylidenedifluoride (PVDF) membranes (Bio-Rad). The PVDF membranes were blocked using 5% non-fat milk for 1 h and primary antibodies against GLUT1 (Biorbyt, St Louis, MO, USA; orb157188), HK2 (Abcam; ab227198), LDHA (Abcam; ab52488), ALDH1A3 (Proteintech; 29,373–1-AP), β-actin (Abcam; ab8226), Alix (Abcam; ab88743), CD9 (Abcam; ab236630) and TSG101 (Abcam; ab125011) were used. Secondary antibodies were labeled with Peroxidase. The ECL detection system (Thermo) was used for visualization.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
