Isolation of miRNAs from EVs was performed with the combination of miRNeasy kit and RNeasy Cleanup Kit (Qiagen), according to the manufacturer's protocol. EV-miRNAs quality and integrity were assessed through the “2100 Bioanalyzer RNA system” (Agilent Technologies). MiRNAs were eluted in 20 μL of Nuclease-Free Water and stored at −80°C, until to use. MiRNAs reverse transcription (RT) and preamplification reactions, followed by real-time RT-PCR analysis with the QuantStudio™ 12K Flex OpenArray® Platform (Applied Biosystem), were previously described (20 (link)). Gene Expression Suite Software (Applied Biosystem) was used to process miRNA expression data from the “TaqMan™ OpenArray™ Human MicroRNA panel” (ThermoFisher) analysis.
