RNA-seq analysis of the molecular signatures displayed by the stromal cells and the EV. (A) Workflow chart of the RNA-seq analysis. NGS, next-generation sequencing. (B and C) Global analysis of the small RNA (B) and poly-A–RNA (C) libraries. For the small RNA libraries, all the sequenced reads are represented, and for the poly-A–RNA libraries, only the most abundant genes (RPKM > 100) are represented. (D) PCA of the global miRNA (left) and poly-A RNA (right) transcriptomes.
