AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, naturally occurring extracellular vesicles are uneven in size and structurally unstable. Wild-type VSV-G has high immunogenicity and easily triggers immune responses, and large-scale production is complex and costly.
By using enveloped viral glycoproteins or their variants, and through mutation or truncation, their binding to LDL-R is inhibited, and extracellular vesicles containing enveloped viral glycoproteins on their surface are prepared, thereby reducing immunogenicity and improving targeting.
This achieved uniformity in size and structural stability of extracellular vesicles, reducing the risk of immune responses, while also lowering production costs and improving the targeting of transported proteins.

Abstract
Description
Extracellular vesicle and preparation method and application thereof TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of polypeptide carriers, in particular to an extracellular vesicle and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a class of naturally occurring nanoscale particles with a double-membrane structure, a diameter of 30-200 nm (exosomes) or <1000 nm (microvesicles) actively secreted by cells. EVs, as an important cell communication carrier, are involved in the processes of immune regulation, inflammation, tumor, metabolic disorders, angiogenesis, and play an important role in the physiological and pathological processes of the body. EVs can avoid being cleared by the immune system due to their excellent natural biocompatibility, and are therefore considered as an ideal protein transport carrier and have attracted much attention.
[0003] However, naturally occurring EVs have limitations such as uneven size and unstable structure. Existing technologies use envelope virus glycoproteins such as VSV-G to transduce into production cells to make the produced EVs more uniform in size and more stable in structure.
[0004] However, wild-type VSV-G has high immunogenicity and can easily trigger an immune response in the subject; and wild-type VSV-G can bind to the endocytosis receptor LDL-R widely expressed on a variety of cells; therefore, EVs containing wild-type VSV-G on the surface can infect a variety of cells by binding to LDL-R when transporting the target protein, and the targeting of the target protein is not good.
[0005] On the other hand, the operation of large-scale production of EVs is complex and costly, and the need for simple and inexpensive large-scale production of EVs has not been met. SUMMARY

[0151] Herein:
[0152] "Inhibit" : The term "inhibit" when used in reference to the ability of a variant or truncated envelope virus glycoprotein to bind its natural target, such as a viral glycoprotein receptor, includes a complete ablation of the binding of the variant or truncated envelope virus glycoprotein to its natural target, as well as a significant reduction in the binding of the variant or truncated envelope virus glycoprotein to its natural target. In particular embodiments, "significant reduction" means a reduction in the binding of the variant or truncated envelope virus glycoprotein to the natural target selected from the group consisting of at least 95%, at least 90%, at least 85%, at least 80%, at least 75%, at least 70%, at least 65%, at least 60%, at least 55%, at least 50%, at least 45%, at least 40%, at least 35%, at least 30%, at least 25%, at least 20%, at least 15%, and at least 10% reduction relative to a wild-type envelope virus glycoprotein.
[0153] In some embodiments of the application, the binding of the VSV-G variant, Cocal-G variant, truncated Cocal-G, or truncated VSV-G to its natural target, LDL-R, is "inhibited" to include a complete ablation of the binding of the VSV-G variant, Cocal-G variant, truncated Cocal-G, or truncated VSV-G to LDL-R, as well as a significant reduction in the binding of the VSV-G variant, Cocal-G variant, truncated Cocal-G, or truncated VSV-G to LDL-R; "significant reduction" means a reduction in the binding of the VSV-G variant, Cocal-G variant, truncated Cocal-G, or truncated VSV-G to LDL-R selected from the group consisting of at least 95%, at least 90%, at least 85%, at least 80%, at least 75%, at least 70%, at least 65%, at least 60%, at least 55%, at least 50%, at least 45%, at least 40%, at least 35%, at least 30%, at least 25%, at least 20%, at least 15%, and at least 10% reduction relative to a wild-type VSV-G or Cocal-G.
[0154] "Exogenous" : Refers to any molecule, including nucleic acids, proteins, polypeptides, or small molecule compounds, etc., that originates from outside the organism. In contrast, the term "endogenous" refers to any molecule that originates from inside the organism (i.e., naturally produced by the organism).
[0155] “Hydrophobic protein”: As used herein, a hydrophobic protein refers to a protein whose amino acid sequence has a high proportion of hydrophobic amino acid residues (e.g., valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, methionine, alanine, tryptophan, etc.) or that has been post-translationally modified to introduce a hydrophobic group (e.g., fatty acid acylation, prenylation, palmitoylation, etc.), resulting in a protein that exhibits hydrophobic properties overall. In some embodiments of the application, a hydrophobic protein includes a protein that contains a large number of hydrophobic amino acid residues, where “a large number” includes a proportion of hydrophobic amino acid residues that is greater than 50% of the total amino acid residues. In some embodiments of the application, a hydrophobic protein includes a protein that has a grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY) greater than 0.
[0156] “Hydrophilic protein”: As used herein, a hydrophilic protein refers to a protein whose amino acid sequence has a high proportion of hydrophilic amino acid residues (e.g., lysine, arginine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, asparagine, glutamine, histidine, serine, threonine, etc.) and that has not been post-translationally modified to significantly enhance hydrophobicity, resulting in a protein that exhibits hydrophilic properties overall. In some embodiments of the application, a hydrophilic protein includes a protein that contains a large number of hydrophilic amino acid residues, where “a large number” includes a proportion of hydrophilic amino acid residues that is greater than 50% of the total amino acid residues. In some embodiments of the application, a hydrophobic protein includes a protein that has a grand average of hydropathicity (GRAVY) less than 0.
[0157] “Complement”: The complement system is composed of a series of proteins that are part of the innate immune system. Complement (C) is present in the serum, tissue fluid and cell membrane surface of normal humans and animals, and has enzymatic activity after activation, which can occur in a complex cascade. The complement system is activated by a series of enzymes that cut each other, and ultimately forms a membrane attack complex that resembles a hole on the target microorganism, causing the microorganism to rupture and die. Complement components can be activated by antigen-antibody complexes or antibodies, and exhibit corresponding biological functions by lysing, opsonizing, phagocytizing, and mediating inflammatory reactions to clear immune complexes. Complement is widely involved in the body’s defense against microbial infection and immune regulation, and also mediates immunopathological damage, making it an important effector system and effector method system in the body.
[0158] By introducing the second mutation in the envelope virus glycoprotein, such as VSV-G, thereby increasing the ability of the envelope virus glycoprotein variant to antagonize complement inactivation, the EVs comprising the envelope virus glycoprotein variant are more suitable for use in in vivo protein delivery.
[0159] “Lentivirus”: Lentiviruses are complex retroviruses that contain additional genes with regulatory or structural functions in addition to the usual retroviral genes gag, pol, and env. The higher complexity enables the virus to regulate its life cycle, as it does during the process of latent infection. Lentiviruses belong to the Retroviridae family that can infect both dividing and non-dividing cells. Examples of lentiviruses include, but are not limited to, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus, including HIV type I and HIV type II), equine infectious anemia virus, feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), bovine immunodeficiency virus (BIV), and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV).
[0160] “Lentiviral Vector (LVV)”: As used herein, the term “Lentiviral Vector (LVV)” is intended to mean a self-inactivating viral particle that includes a viral envelope, has one or more characteristics of a lentivirus, is capable of invading a target cell and delivering a gene of interest (GOI) of interest, and is not self-replicating.
[0161] LVVs can stably integrate exogenous payload genes, such as CAR genes, into the chromosome of target cells, allowing the target cells to express the delivered transgene for a long period of time, providing a great advantage for gene therapy. In addition, they do not transfer viral genes, thus avoiding the problem of producing transduced cells that can be destroyed by cytotoxic T cells. And they have a relatively large clonal capacity, sufficient to meet most expected clinical applications.
[0162] “Packaging system”: As used herein, refers to a vector system comprising one or more nucleic acid vectors that contain nucleic acids necessary for the production, assembly, and / or packaging of a lentiviral vector in a packaging cell / packaging cell line when introduced into the packaging cell / packaging cell line for packaging of the lentiviral vector. Illustratively, the packaging system comprises (a) nucleic acids encoding viral proteins necessary for the production, assembly, and / or packaging of a lentiviral vector in a packaging cell line and (b) signals that provide the necessary signals for key functions such as viral replication, packaging, reverse transcription, and integration.
[0163] Packaging systems for commonly used lentiviral vectors include packaging systems for so-called third-generation lentiviral vectors. Packaging systems for third-generation lentiviral vectors include four plasmids, typically including a transfer plasmid and three packaging plasmids: a transfer plasmid / master plasmid containing a transgene / shuttle gene of interest / GOI, such as a CAR gene, a GagPol plasmid, a Rev plasmid, and an envelope plasmid containing a viral glycoprotein gene such as VSV-G or a variant thereof or Cocal-G or a variant thereof.
[0164] Generally, a “transfer vector” contains the lentiviral backbone genes, signals required for viral replication, packaging, reverse transcription, and integration, and other key functions. Transfer vectors typically have one or more transgenes flanked by long terminal repeat (LTR) sequences, which facilitate integration of the transgenes contained by the transfer vector, such as a CAR gene, into the host genome. The LTRs are responsible for the reverse transcription and integration processes of the viral genome. Through these sequences, the lentivirus can integrate the transgene into the genome of the host cell. For safety reasons, transfer vectors are often designed so that the resulting viral vectors are unable to self-replicate, e.g., the transfer vector lacks the genetic elements necessary to produce infectious lentiviral vectors in a host cell. In addition, transfer vectors can be designed to have a 3’ LTR deleted, rendering the virus “self-inactivating.” The TAT gene is eliminated from third generation pseudotyped lentiviral vector packaging systems by adding a chimeric 5’ LTR fused to a heterologous promoter (e.g., CMV or RSV promoter) on the transfer vector. Transfer vectors typically contain a Ψ sequence (Psi sequence, also known as Ψ packaging signal) downstream of the 5’ LTR, which is responsible for packaging the transgene RNA into the viral vector. The Ψ sequence ensures that only RNA containing the transgene is packaged into the viral vector. Transfer vectors can also optionally contain an Internal Ribosome Entry Site (“IRES”) to allow for the translation of two or more open reading frames (ORFs) on one mRNA, enabling multi-gene expression. Some transfer vectors, such as the master plasmid / transfer vector used in some embodiments of the present application, can also contain a selectable marker gene, such as an antibiotic resistance gene (e.g., PuroR, which encodes puromycin resistance) or a fluorescent protein gene (e.g., GFP), for selection or tracking of transduced cells.
[0165] Transfer vectors for packaging systems of lentiviral vectors are known in the art, see Naldini et al. (1996) Science 272:263-7; Zufferey et al. (1998) J. Virol. 72:9873-9880; Dull et al. (1998) J. Virol. 72:8463-8471; U.S. Patent No. 6,013,516; and U.S. Patent No. 5,994,136, each of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety. Generally, a transfer vector contains the basic nucleic acid sequences configured to carry out the selection of cells containing the vector, the incorporation of foreign nucleic acid into lentiviral particles, and the transfer of nucleic acid to target cells.
[0166] Lentiviral backbone genes generally refer to the most basic, essential cis-acting elements that make up the lentiviral vector transfer plasmid. These sequences do not encode viral proteins, but rather provide the signals needed for viral replication, packaging, reverse transcription, and integration. Specifically, lentiviral backbone genes generally include: long terminal repeat sequences (LTRs): located at both ends of the genome, contain promoter, enhancer, and terminator functions, which regulate viral gene transcription and integration processes; packaging signal (Ψ): determines which RNA molecules can be recognized and packaged into viral particles; central polypurine tract (cPPT) and central termination signal (CTS): help improve reverse transcription efficiency and nuclear transport; Rev response element (RRE): binds to the Rev protein, regulating the transport of viral RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
[0167] In constructing the transfer plasmid, in order to ensure safety and efficiency, only these necessary backbone sequences are usually retained in the transfer plasmid, and the sequences encoding viral structural proteins and enzymes (such as gag, pol, env, etc.) are removed from it, which are provided by the packaging system in the helper plasmid. This design not only ensures the function of the vector, but also reduces the risk of generating replication-competent viruses.
[0168] In some embodiments of the present application, "backbone genes" are intended to include nucleic acids encoding lentiviral cis nucleic acid sequences required for genome packaging. The backbone genes can also encode other cis nucleic acid sequences that are beneficial for gene delivery, including, for example, cis sequences required for reverse transcription, provirus integration, or genome transcription. Thus, the exact composition of the backbone genes will depend on the genetic material desired to be introduced into the target cell. Thus, the backbone genes can encode, for example, additional polypeptides or functions in addition to those required for packaging, reverse transcription, integration, or transcription. Such functions typically include encoding cis elements required for expression of the target nucleic acid / shuttle gene.
[0169] The packaging system of the third generation lentiviral vector usually also includes three packaging plasmids: GagPol plasmid, Rev plasmid and envelope plasmid. The envelope plasmid usually carries the envelope viral glycoprotein gene, for example, wild type VSV-G or Cocal-G is one of the commonly used viral glycoproteins; the viral glycoprotein gene is operably linked to a promoter, and the promoter is usually a CMV promoter, which initiates transcription of the viral glycoprotein gene.
[0170] The packaging system of third generation lentiviral vectors also includes two packaging plasmids, one containing the genes encoding the Gag protein and the Pol protein (GagPol packaging plasmid), while the other contains the gene encoding the Rev protein (Rev plasmid) as a further safety feature, which is an improvement over the single packaging plasmid of the so-called second generation packaging system. The Gag gene encodes the Gag polyprotein precursor containing lentiviral structural proteins, including matrix, capsid, and nucleocapsid; the Pol gene encodes the Pol polyprotein precursor providing lentiviral enzymatic functions necessary for replication, including protease, reverse transcriptase, and integrase; the Rev gene encodes the Rev protein, which binds the Rev Response Element (RRE) to allow nuclear export of unspliced and singly spliced HIV RNAs during viral replication. The Gag and Pol polyprotein precursors are cleaved during viral vector production. The Rev protein binds the Rev Response Element (RRE) sequence on the viral RNA, facilitating the transport of incompletely spliced viral RNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm by interacting with the nuclear export machinery of the host cell. These unspliced RNAs can be translated into viral structural proteins and enzymes in the cytoplasm, or assembled into new viral vectors.
[0171] Exemplary, the packaging plasmids include, but are not limited to, pMD2.G, pRSV-rev, pMDLG-pRRE, and pRRL-GOI.
[0172] In some embodiments, the present application provides an expression vector composition for preparing extracellular vesicles, wherein the first expression vector is any of the foregoing envelope plasmids, and the second expression vector is any of the foregoing transfer plasmids.
[0173] In some embodiments, the EVs provided by the present application are prepared by transfecting production cells with a defined ratio of transfer plasmid and envelope plasmid. In some embodiments, the ratio of each plasmid is determined by mass, which is not particularly limited as long as it can package EVs. In some embodiments, the mass of the transfer plasmid is higher than that of the envelope plasmid for packaging EVs. In some embodiments, the defined ratio of the transfer plasmid and the envelope plasmid is about 1:1 to about 10:4. In some embodiments, the defined ratio of the transfer plasmid and the envelope plasmid is about 9:2.
[0174] “Production cell line”: The production / host / packaging cells that can be used to prepare the EVs provided by the present application include, but are not limited to, human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells and their derivatives. The production cells can be adherent cell lines such as HEK-293T production cells, or suspension cell lines such as HEK-293T / 17SF production cells.
[0175] Exemplary, the packaging cell / producer cell is selected from the group consisting of CHO cells, BHK cells, MDCK cells, C3H-10T1 / 2 cells, FLY cells, Psi-2 cells, BOSC 23 cells, PA317 cells, WEHI cells, COS cells, BSC-1 cells, BSC-40 cells, BMT-10 cells, VERO cells, W138 cells, MRC 5 cells, A549 cells, HT1080 cells, HEK-293 cells, B-50 cells, 3T3 cells, NIH 3T3 cells, HepG2 cells, Saos-2 cells, Huh7 cells, HeLa cells, W163 cells, and 211 cells;
[0176] Preferably, the packaging cell / producer cell is a HEK-293T cell.
[0177] “Functional domain”: i.e. a region of a protein that has a specific biological function.
[0178] “Variant”: refers to a protein or polypeptide that has one or more amino acid alterations compared to a wild-type protein or polypeptide sequence. Variants are typically formed as a result of changes in the coding sequence due to point mutations, insertions, or deletions in the gene sequence, which alter the amino acid sequence of the protein or polypeptide.
[0179] “Pharmaceutically acceptable excipient or carrier”: pharmaceutically acceptable excipients or carriers include, but are not limited to, diluents, solubilizers, emulsifiers, preservatives, preservatives, and / or adjuvants. The excipient is preferably non-toxic or essentially non-toxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed. Such excipients include, but are not limited to, saline, buffers, dextrose, water, glycerol, ethanol, and combinations thereof. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition can contain substances for improving, maintaining or preserving, for example, the pH, osmolarity, viscosity, clarity, color, isotonicity, odor, sterility, stability, dissolution or release rate, absorption, or permeability of the composition. The optimal pharmaceutical composition will be determined by the intended route of administration, delivery means, and desired dosage.
[0180] “and / or”: is to be taken to mean either one or both alternatives.
[0181] “Comprise”: herein, unless the context requires otherwise, the word “comprise”, and variations such as “comprises” or “comprising”, will be understood to imply the inclusion of a stated step or element or group of steps or elements but not the exclusion of any other step or element or group of steps or elements. In some embodiments of the application, the terms “include”, “has”, “have”, and “comprise” are used synonymously.
[0182] "Embodiment": Reference throughout this specification to "some embodiments", "some examples", means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment of the application. Thus, appearances of the foregoing phrases, as well as appearances of the phrases "in one embodiment" or "in an embodiment" or "in some embodiments" in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily intended to refer to the same embodiment.
[0183] "Sequence identity": Generally, "sequence identity" refers to the exact correspondence of nucleotides and nucleotides or amino acids and amino acids, respectively, of two polynucleotide or polypeptide sequences. Typically, techniques for determining sequence identity include determining the nucleotide sequence of a polynucleotide and / or determining the amino acid sequence encoded thereby, and comparing these sequences to a second nucleotide or amino acid sequence. Two or more sequences (polynucleotide or amino acid) can be compared by determining their "percent identity". Whether nucleic acid or amino acid sequences, the percent identity of two sequences is the number of exact matches between two aligned sequences divided by the length of the shorter sequence, multiplied by 100. Sequence information can also be compared using the Advanced BLAST computer program, available from the National Institutes of Health, to determine percent identity. The BLAST program is based on the following alignment method: Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87:2264-2268 (1990) and discussed in Altschul et al., J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-410 (1990); Karlin and Altschul, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:5873-5877 (1993); and Altschul et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402 (1997). Briefly, the BLAST program defines identity as the number of identical aligned symbols (typically nucleotides or amino acids) divided by the total number of symbols in the shorter of the two sequences. The program can be used to determine percent identity over the entire length of the proteins being compared.
[0184] "Transduction": As used herein, the terms "transfection", "transformation", and "transduction" are used synonymously to refer to the process of introducing or incorporating exogenous nucleic acid into a producer cell. A "transfected", "transformed", or "transduced" cell is one which has been transfected, transformed, or transduced with exogenous nucleic acid. The cell includes the original recipient cell and its progeny.

[0220] After the culture supernatant was filtered using a 0.45 um filter membrane, the EVs-WNT3A were resuspended using 5% trehalose (Dawo) and stored at -80°C for long-term preservation after centrifugation at 50000g for 2.5h using an ultracentrifuge (JXP-26).
[0221] 3. Identification of EVs-WNT3A
[0222] A. Detection of EVs positive marker protein and WNT3A expression using Western Blot
[0223] (a) Preparation of control group EVs
[0224] (i) Preparation of control group 1 EVs transfected with VSV-G variant 1 plasmid only
[0225] Referring to the method for preparing EVs-WNT3A described above, control group 1 EVs (CTR1-EVs) were prepared by the following method: only the VSV-G variant 1 plasmid was transfected into HEK-293T cells, the transfer plasmid 1 was not transfected, the HEK-293T cells were cultured, and the CTR1-EVs were collected and separated.

[0228] The membrane anchor-free transfer plasmid 1 only contains a polynucleotide encoding WNT3A, and does not contain a polynucleotide encoding a CD8a hinge region and a CD8a transmembrane region; the plasmid map of the membrane anchor-free transfer plasmid 1 is shown in Figure 8.
[0229] (b) Detection of Alix and WNT3A in EVs-WNT3A and control group EVs
[0230] The expression of Alix (EVs positive marker protein) and WNT3A in EVs-WNT3A, CTR1-EVs and CTR3-EVs was detected using Western Blot, and the results are shown in Figure 2.
[0231] As shown in FIG. 2, Alix was detected in EVs-WNT3A, CTR1-EVs and CTR3-EVs, however, only CTR3-EVs and EVs-WNT3A detected the expression of WNT3A; and, since in EVs-WNT3A, WNT3A was connected with CD8a transmembrane region through CD8a hinge region to express on the surface membrane of EVs, therefore, the expression of target gene WNT3A in EVs-WNT3A was higher than that in CTR3-EVs which did not contain membrane anchoring structure.
[0232] Example 2
[0233] 1. Preparation of EVs-VEGF containing VEGF protein on the surface
[0234] Referring to the method for preparing, collecting and isolating EVs-WNT3A in Example 1, EVs-VEGF containing VGEF protein on the surface was prepared, collected and isolated; wherein the transfer plasmid 1 was replaced by a transfer plasmid 2 containing an exogenous polynucleotide 2 comprising: a polynucleotide encoding VEGF (target gene 2), a polynucleotide encoding the hinge region of CD8a and a polynucleotide encoding the transmembrane region of CD8a; the transfer plasmid 2 comprises gene expression elements as shown in FIG. 3; the plasmid map of the transfer plasmid 2 is shown in FIG. 7;

[0241] The expression of Alix and the gene of interest 2 VEGF in EVs-VEGF, CTR2-EVs and CTR1-EVs was detected by Western Blot, and the results are shown in Figure 4.
[0242] As shown in Figure 4, Alix was detected in EVs-VEGF, CTR2-EVs and CTR1-EVs, however, the expression of VEGF was only detected in CTR2-EVs and EVs-VEGF; and, since in EVs-VEGF, VEGF is connected to CD8a transmembrane region through CD8a hinge region to express on the surface membrane of EVs, the expression of the gene of interest VEGF in EVs-VEGF is higher than that in CTR2-EVs which does not contain a membrane-anchoring structure.
[0243] Example 3
[0244] 1. Preparation of EVs (truncated-EVs, "tEVs") containing truncated VSV-G on the surface.
[0245] The truncated VSV-G contains the tail end of the extracellular domain, the transmembrane region and the intracellular domain of VSV-G, retains the ability to promote virus / EVs budding, while its extracellular domain does not contain most of the sites that bind to LDL-R, so the binding to LDL-R is inhibited or does not bind to LDL-R; at the same time, the immunogenicity of the truncated VSV-G is also significantly reduced;
[0246] Referring to the preparation method of EVs-WNT3A or EVs-VEGF described in Examples 1 and 2, the EVs containing the truncated VSV-G and expressing the gene of interest 1 WNT3A or the gene of interest 2 VEGF, tEVs-WNT3A or tEVs-VEGF, are prepared, isolated and collected;
[0247] Wherein, the VSV-G variant 1 plasmid is replaced by a truncated VSV-G plasmid containing a polynucleotide encoding the truncated VSV-G, and the truncated VSV-G contains an amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 21; the plasmid map of the truncated VSV-G plasmid is shown in Figure 10;
[0248] 2. Preparation of control group EVs
[0249] Referring to the preparation method of CTR1-EVs described in Example 1, CTR1-tEVs are prepared; the specific operation method is as follows:
[0250] HEK-293T cells were transfected with the truncated VSV-G plasmid only, cultured, collected and isolated CTR1-tEVs;
[0251] 3. Detection of Alix and the gene of interest
[0252] The expression of Alix and WNT3A in tEVs-WNT3A and CTR1-tEVs was detected by Western Blot, respectively, and the results are shown in Figure 11.
[0253] As shown in Figure 11, Alix was detected in both tEVs-WNT3A and CTR1-tEVs, however, the expression of WNT3A was only detected in tEVs-WNT3A.
[0254] The expression of Alix and the gene of interest 2 VEGF in tEVs-VEGF and CTR1-tEVs was detected by Western Blot, respectively, and the results are shown in Figure 12.
[0255] As shown in Figure 12, Alix was detected in both tEVs-VEGF and CTR1-tEVs, however, the expression of VEGF was only detected in tEVs-VEGF.
