Stimulation of EGFR and blockade of E-cadherin induce mesenchymal phenotype and exosomal TF emission in DLD-1 cells.
A, stimulation of DLD-1 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells with SHE78-7 antibody and TGFα provokes cell scattering, elongation, and mesenchymal appearance. B, marked release of TF into conditioned medium of DLD-1 cells stimulated with the SHE/TGFα mixture (TF ELISA) (n = 3) (*, p < 0,05). C, increase in production of exosomal-like EVs by DLD-1 cells stimulated with SHE78-7 and TGFα (n = 2) (*, p < 0.05).
