Extracellular vesicles (EVs) shedding by murine melanoma cells after TMZ treatment induces macrophage polarization towards M2 phenotype. qRT-PCR for analyzing the expression level of typical M1 (iNOS and IL12p40) (a) and M2 (MRC1, Arg1 and IL10) (b) genes in F4/80+ macrophages in the presence of EVs from control- and TMZ-treated cells. HPRT was used as housekeeping gene. EVs from control cells were used as the reference and EVs from TMZ-treated cells as the target sample. Bars indicate mean ± SD of five independent experiments. Results were considered significant when p < 0.05 by Mann-Whitney test.
