Tumor-originated exosomal LUCAT1 as a circulating biomarker for LUAD. (A) Transmission electron microscopy images of exosomes. Scale bar: 100 nm. (B) Western blot images of exosomal markers (TSG101, CD63, CD9). (C) Size distribution and concentration of serum exosomes. Heatmap (D), volcano plot (E) and scatter plot (F) showed the differentially expressed serum exosomal lncRNAs from the high-throughput sequencing analysis. (G) Comparison of serum exosomal LUCAT1 expression between LUAD patients and healthy controls detected by qRT-PCR. (H) ROC curves for the determination of the diagnostic performance of serum exosomal LUCAT1. (I) Comparison of the expression level of LUCAT1 before and after RNase A treatment. p values were calculated using two-sided paired t-test (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001).
