WJ-EV impaired the tumorigenic and metastatic abilities of BCC. (A) The morphology of AT-EV and WJ-EV. (B) Markers of AT-EV and WJ-EV, n = 3. Full-length blots were shown in Supplementary Fig. S3A. (C) The internalization of PKH26-stained AT-EV and WJ-EV into BCC; aBCC, AT-EV-internalized BCC; wBCC, WJ-EV-internalized BCC, n = 3. Images were taken at × 20 magnification. (D) The internalization of AT-EV and WJ-EV into BCC were examined by a flow cytometry, n = 3. (E) The cellular proliferation of AT-EV- and WJ-EV-internalized BCC; aBCC, AT-EV-internalized BCC; wBCC, WJ-EV-internalized BCC, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (F) The expression of genes involving in proliferation of BCC, aBCC and wBCC, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (G) The protein expression of CDK4 and CDK6 in BCC, aBCC and wBCC, n = 3, ***p < 0.001. Full-length blots were shown in Supplementary Fig. S3B. (H) The sphere formation of BCC and wBCC, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. Images were taken at × 4 and × 10 magnification. (I) The migration assay of BCC and wBCC, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. (J) The expression of genes related to EMT and migration in BCC and wBCC, n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. (K) The metastatic ability of BCC and wBCC in vivo. n = 4, ***p < 0.001. (L) The effects of WJ-EV treatment on tumor growth of BCC in vivo. n = 4, **p < 0.01. Raw images of tumors were shown in Supplementary Fig. S4A. All experiments were performed in triplicate.
