A The characteristics of healthy negative control serum exosomes and NPC serum exosomes were identified by transmission electron microscopy and Western blotting. B The content of HMGA2 in healthy negative control serum exosomes and NPC serum exosomes with and without metastasis. Densitometry was performed with ImageJ. ***p < 0.001. C The permeability of HUVEC monolayers treated with circulating exosomes from healthy negative controls and circulating exosomes from NPC patients with and without metastasis was measured by the absorption value of rhodamine-dextran. ***p < 0.001. D Representative images (left panel) and histogram of the quantification (right panel) of the endothelial cellular morphology alteration after the cells were treated with serum exosomes from healthy negative controls and serum exosomes from NPC patients with and without metastasis for 48 h. ***p < 0.001.
