Fig. 3From: Macrophages derived exosomes deliver miR-223 to epithelial ovarian cancer cells to elicit a chemoresistant phenotypeTAMs derived exosomes confer drug resistance of recipient EOC cells. SKOV3 cells were treated with PBS, exosomes derived from normoxic (N-Mcr-exo) or hypoxic (H-Mcr-exo) TAMs for 24 h, cell apoptosis and related quantitative analysis of apoptosis (a), the number of cell colonies (b), cell viability (c), IC50 for cDDP (d) was analyzed in SKOV3 cells respectively. SKOV3 cells were cultured in TAMs-conditioned and exosome-depleted TAMs-conditioned media, cell apoptosis (e), cell viability (f), IC50 for cDDP (g) was measured in SKOV3 cells. SKOV3 cells were treated with DMSO or GW4869, cell apoptosis (h), cell viability (i, j), IC50 for cDDP (k) was detected. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01Back to article page
