Hypoxia-regulated exosomes mediate M2 macrophage polarization and promote metastasis in chondrosarcoma

class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 4. M2 macrophages polarized by hypoxic exosomes promote the migration of chondrosarcoma cells. (A) Schematic illustration of the in vitro indirect co-culture system. (B) The in vitro Transwell co-culture system determined the migratory capacity of chondrosarcoma cells (SW1353) co-cultured with exosome-treated macrophages. Representative photographs of migratory cells on the membrane are shown as morphometric analyses of migratory cells. All replicate number ≧ 3. #p < 0.05 compared with the DMEM; *p < 0.05 compared with the SW1353-N-exo group.
