FIG 7.
Knockdown of Syntenin-1 and Hrs in the nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell line HK1 impairs LMP1 vesicle secretion and packaging. HK1 cells expressing inducible shRNAs (scramble, Hrs, and Syntenin-1) and inducible GFP-LMP1 were generated. (A and B) Whole-cell (A) and EV (B) lysates were separated by SDS-PAGE and analyzed by immunoblot analysis for LMP1 and common EV markers (Alix, Hrs, calnexin, HSC70, TSG101, Syntenin-1, Flotillin-2, and CD63). (C) Semiquantitative Western blot analysis of results from more than 3 independent experiments. The data are presented relative to the value for wild-type LMP1 packaged into EVs. (D and E) Nanoparticle tracking analysis for size (D) and quantity (E). (*, adjusted P < 0.005; **, adjusted P < 0.0001).
