Hypoxia-induced microRNA-155 overexpression in extracellular vesicles promotes renal cell carcinoma progression by targeting FOXO3
Figure 7. Hypoxia-induced RCC cell-derived EVs promote RCC progression by suppressing FOXO3. (A) FOXO3 localization was assessed by Western blotting, and data were quantified. The results revealed that hypoxia-induced EVs were able to significantly reduce nuclear and cytoplasmic FOXO3 expression. (B) FOXO3 phosphorylation was assessed by Western blotting, and data were quantified. The results indicated that hypoxia-induced EVs were able to significantly reduce the FOXO3phosphorylation levels. (C–D) The expression of proliferation-(C) and apoptosis(D)-related genes regulated by FOXO3. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and *** P < 0.001.
