Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (CaCo-2), metastatic SW-620 colon cancer cells, hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines (Hep-3B, HLF and HLE cells), liver hepatoma cells (PLC-5), and gastric carcinoma (derived from metastatic site) N-87 cells were purchased from ATCC. Human gastric carcinoma (derived from metastatic site) cell line (HGC-27) was purchased from Sigma-Aldrich. Human intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma cell line (HUCCT-1) was purchased from JCRB Cell Bank derived from ascitic fluid. All cell lines were cultivated in according to retailer protocols. Briefly, colon cancer cell lines (CaCo-2 and SW-620) were cultured in 10% of Inactivated Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) exosomes free (Euroclone) in Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle’s Medium (DMEM) with sodium pyruvate, 4.5 g/L glucose (GIBCO), 4mM L-Glutamine (GIBCO) and 5 mL Pen-Strep (penicillin 10,000 u/mL, streptomycin 10,000 u/mL, Lonza Biowhittaker). Gastric (N-87 and HGC-27), hepatocellular carcinoma (Hep-3B, HLE and HLF), hepatoma (PLC-5), and intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (HUCCT-1) cell lines were cultured with Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) medium (GIBCO) supplemented with 10% of FBS exosomes free, sodium pyruvate, 4.5 g/L glucose, 4mM L-Glutamine, and 5 mL Pen-Strep.Cells were grown until reaching semi-confluence, in a humidified incubator at 37 °C with an atmosphere containing 5% of CO₂.

THLE-2, MIHA, Hep3B and Huh7 cells were purchased from the National Collection of Authenticated Cell Cultures (https://www.cellbank.org.cn/). SNU-449, SNU-182, and SNU-387 were purchased from ATCC: The Global Bioresource Center (ATCC, https://www.atcc.org/). PLC/PRF/5 and MHCC-97H were provided by Prof. Lu Guo-dong of the School of Public Health, Guangxi Medical University. Hep3B was cultured in MEM medium (Gibco, Shanghai, China) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Shanghai, China). THLE-2 was cultured in BEGM medium (Lonza, CC3170, Hong Kong). SNU-449, SNU-182, and SNU-387 were cultured in RMPI-1640 medium (Gibco, Shanghai, China) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Shanghai, China). MIHA, LM3, Huh7, PLC5, and MHCC97-H were cultured in DMEM medium (Gibco, Shanghai, China) supplemented with 10% FBS (Gibco, Shanghai, China).
