Figure 2. Myofibroblastic marker expression of ASCs in 2-D is enhanced with TEV treatment.
a) α-SMA and fibronectin (Fn) of ASCs treated with or without tumor cell-derived EVs (TEVs) as visualized by immunofluorescence. Scale bar = 50 um. b) Quantification of α-SMA levels and c) Fn fiber thickness by image analysis. d), e) Western blots and corresponding densitometric analyses of α-SMA and Fn. * p<0.05.
