APN accumulation and exosome secretion. (A,B) Differentiation dependence of APN-accumulation and exosome secretion. (A) Proteins in cell lysates. Experimental scheme was summarized. Blots for T-cad (130 kDa and 100 kDa), APN (30 kDa) and α tubulin (48 kDa) were shown. Data are mean ± s.e.m., n = 3, n.s; not significant; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001; Tukey’s test. (B) Undifferentiated myoblasts (Day 0) and differentiated myocytes (Day 4) of C2C12 cells were treated with or without purified APN for 48 hrs. Secreted exosomes were purified and proved by antibodies against typical exosome cargos indicated. mean ± s.e.m., n = 3. *P < 0.05. (CE) T-cad dependent APN-accumulation and exosome secretion. (C) Cell lysates of C2C12 cells transfected with siRNA for T-cad or negative control. mean ± s.e.m., n = 3. ***P < 0.001. (D) Cell lysates of C2C12 cells transfected with siRNA for AdipoR1/AdipoR2 or negative control. mean ± s.e.m., n = 3. n.s; not significant. mRNA knockdown levels were shown. mean ± s.e.m., n = 3. (E) siRNA for T-cad or negative control were transfected into C2C12 cells. Differentiating cells (Day 2) were treated with or without purified adiponectin for 48 hrs. Secreted exosomes were purified and proved by antibodies against typical exosome cargos indicated. mean ± s.e.m., n = 3. *P < 0.05.
