a Western blot analysis of EV-enriched protein TSG101 in milk-derived EV samples. b TEM images of RM and CM EVs. c NTA revealed major peak as 145 nm for RM and 135 nm for CM samples. d Equal protein amount of EVs from RM and colorectal cancer cells (LIM1215) were acidified (pH = 2) or boiled (15 min at 105 °C), subjected to ultracentrifugation and final total volumes were assessed for stability by western blotting for EV-enriched protein TSG101. e Schematic representation of the assay to test the role of calcium in EV stability. f Equal amounts of milk-derived EVs were treated with EGTA prior to acidification or boiling. The samples were subjected to ultracentrifugation and final total volumes were assessed by Western blot analysis for TSG101 (n = 3). All data are represented as mean ± s.e.m. Statistical significance was determined by two-tailed t-test. g Venn diagram of differentially abundant proteins identified in RM and CM EVs (n = 3). h Heatmap depicting the small RNA profile of RM and CM EVs (R-biological replicate) (n = 3).
