Exosomal lncRNA ATB derived from ovarian cancer cells changes the expression of a few EMT markers in HUVECs via regulating miR-204-3p/TGFβR2 axis. (A) Three online bioinformatics databases (Targetscan, miRDB, miRWalk) were used to predict the target genes of miR-204-3p. (B) MiR-204-3p agomir and miR-204-3p agomir NC were transfected into HUVECs with Lipofectamine® 2000. Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to confirm the binding of miR-204-3p and TGFβR2. (C) RT-qPCR assay was performed to evaluate the level of TGFβR2 in HUVECs. (D–G) Western blot was performed to detect the levels of p-Smad2, Smad2, E-cadherin and N-cadherin in HUVECs. **P < 0.01; n = 3.
