MiR-23a is highly expressed in NPC-exo. a Scheme of exosome isolation by differential ultracentrifugation. b Representative electron microscopy image of NPC-exo. c Nanoparticle tracking analysis displayed the size distribution of exosomes isolated from NPC. d Western blot analysis of exosomal markers. CNE2 cell line was used as controls for exosomes characterized. Flotillin-1 was used as a loading control. e Uptake of exosomes in HUVECs by confocal microscopy. Blue: Hoechst staining; green: PKH67-labeled exosomes. f, g qRT-PCR of miRNA level in exosomes isolated from serum (grouping based on the clinical features of patients at the blood-drawing time) or NPC cells. T test. h qRT-PCR of miRNA expression in exosomes isolated from miR-23a-treated CM. One-way ANOVA
