TGF-β increases the release of EVs from oral cancer cells. a, b Nanoparticle tracking analysis of EVs from the conditioned medium of HSC-4 cells treated without (a Ctrl-EVs) or with TGF-β (b Tβ-EVs) using the NanoSight system. The inset: NanoSight capture images show particles isolated from the same volume of each conditioned medium. c Immunoblotting analysis of total cell lysate of HSC-4 cells stimulated without (Ctrl) or with 3 ng/ml TGF-β (TGF-β) for 72 h, and the respective EV fraction (Ctrl-EVs and Tβ-EVs). Samples derived from the same number of particles were loaded onto each lane. Antibodies against EV markers (Alix, TSG101, and CD63) and Golgi apparatus marker (GORASP1) were used for analysis. Cropped blot images are shown. See Supplementary Information for the original full-length blot images. The intensity of each band was then quantified. The relative value was normalized to that of the cell lysate and is shown as ratio
