Fig. 1. LncRNA-SOX2OT-enriched exosomes in the plasma of NSCLC patients correlate with BoM.

Fig. 1

A Exosomes derived from the plasma of NSCLC patients with or without BoM were phenotyped (purity and shape) by transmission electron microscopy. Scale bar, 100 nm. B The size and particle count of the indicated exosomes with an LM10 nanoparticle characterisation system. Data are representative of three biological replicates. The representative pictures are presented. C Western blotting was performed to detect the expression of exosomal markers, CD9, CD63 and HSP70. Beta-actin was used as a reference protein. Data are representative of three biological replicates. D A real-time PCR assay was performed to determine the lncRNA-SOX2OT level in exosomes derived from the plasma of lung cancer patients with or without BoM. GAPDH was used as the internal control. E The Kaplan-Meier analysis was executed to determine the correlations between BoM and OS. F The Kaplan–Meier analysis was also performed to determine the correlations between the level of lncRNA-SOX2OT in exosomes and OS. *, P < 0.05; **, P < 0.01 (t test). Data are representative of three biological replicates.
