Exosome inhibitor reduces formation of EVs and abolishes TCM-induced EC transformation. (A) Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) showing reduction in the number of EVs from tumor cells that had been pre-treated with the exosome inhibitor GW4869 (GW). (B) Phase contrast micrographs (4×) showing normalized tube formation in hTEC exposed to GW4869 and plated on 2D Matrigels for 24 h compared to untreated hTEC and hNEC. Sale bar = 200 μm. (C) Quantitative analysis showing a significant increase (****p ≤ 0.0001) in tube length between hTEC and hTEC + GW (GW4869) cells. Note a significant decrease in tube formation between hNEC and hTEC (****p ≤ 0.0001), and no statistical difference (NS) between hNEC and hTEC + GW. The results shown are a mean ± SEM from three independent experiments.
