Exosomal miR-3682-3p downregulated the expression of ANGPT1. (A) There were two potential binding sites for miR-3682-3p in the ANGPT1 transcript within its 3′–UTR (position 852-859 and 2321-2328). (B) The protein levels of ANGPT1 were determined by western blot. (C) ANGPT1 mRNA expression in hepatocellular carcinoma patients from the TCGA database. (D) miR–3682–3p significantly suppressed the luciferase activity of the ANGPT1–WT but had no obvious effects on the luciferase activity of ANGPT1-MUT. (E) Negative correlation between miR-3682-3p and ANGPT1 mRNA in 16 HCC tissues. (F) Tube formation assays, migration assays, and invasion assays of HUVECs transfected with ANGPT1-OE lentivirus or negative control. Scale bar, 200 μm. (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; ****p < 0.0001).
