Characterization of OCEXs. (A) The sizes of the WSU-HN4- and SCC-9-derived exosomes were determined by NTA. (B) Representative images of exosomes derived from WSU-HN4 and SCC-9 cells, as detected by TEM. Scale bars, 50 nm. (C) Expression of the exosomal markers, Alix, CD63, CD9 and Rab5, in WSU-HN4- and SCC-9-derived exosomes was determined by western blot analysis. (D) Co-expressed proteins in WSU-HN4- and SCC-9-derived exosomes were detected by mass spectrometry. (E) Overlap of OCEX proteins and the top 100 frequently identified exosomal protein markers from the ExoCarta database. OCEXs, oral cancer-derived exosomes; NTA, nanoparticle tracking analysis; TEM, transmission electron microscopy; EXO/Exo, exosomes.
