Exosomes derived from MDA-MB-231 cells regulate the expression of intercellular junction molecules in HUVECs. (A,B) Confocal microscopy images of vascular endothelial cadherin (VE-cadherin) (red) (A) and zona occluden-1 (ZO-1) (red) (B) in exosome-treated HUVECs stained with corresponding antibodies. Exosomes were labeled with Dio (green). Scale bar, 20 μm. (C) Mean fluorescence intensity for VE-cadherin and ZO-1 expression in exosome-treated and control HUVECs. (D) mRNA expression of intercellular junction molecules in exosome-treated and control HUVECs by qRT-PCR analysis. Data are shown as mean ± SD and representative of three independent experiments. ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001 by unpaired Student’s t-test.
