摘要
Background:Small extracellular vesicles(sEVs)mediate intercellular commu-nication that contributes to hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)progression via multifaceted pathways.The success of cell entry determines the effect of sEV on recipient cells.Here,we aimed to delineate the mechanisms underlying the uptake of sEV in HCC.Abbreviations:AF,Alexa Fluor;ANOVA,analysis of variance;ATP9A,ATPase Phospholipid Transporting 9A;BCECF-AM,2’,7’-bis-(2-barboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein,acetoxymethyl ester;BSA,bovine serum albumin;CCMR,Centre for Comparative Medicine Research;CRISPR,clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats;CTL,ctrl;CXCR4,C-X-C Chemokine Receptor Type 4;DAPI,4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole;DFS,disease-free survival;DMEM,Dulbecco’s Modified Eagle Medium;DMSO,dimethyl sulfoxide;Dox,doxycycline;EEA1,early endosome antigen 1;EIPA,5-(N-ethyl-N-isopropyl)-amiloride;FBS,fetal bovine serum;FITC,fluorescein isothiocyanate;GAPDH,glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase;GM130,Golgi matrix protein 130;HCC,hepatocellular carcinoma;HEPES,4-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1-piperazineethanesulfonic acid;HPRT1,hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase 1;H-score,histoscore;IAA,indole-3-acetic acid;KD,knockdown;KO,knockout;mAID,mini-auxin-inducible degron;MTT,3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide;NHE7,Na(+)/H(+)exchanger 7;ns,non-significant;OD,optical density;OS,overall survival;PBS,phosphate-buffered saline;PCR,polymerase chain reaction;pHe,endosomal pH;pHi,intracellular pH;PKH67,Paul Karl Horan 67;Rab21,Ras-associated binding protein 21;RIPA,radioimmunoprecipitation assay;SAM,synergistic activation mediator;SEMs,standard error of the means;sEVs,small extracellular vesicles;sgRNA,single-guide RNA;shRNA,short-hairpin RNA;SLC9,solute carrier gene 9;SLiCE,Seamless Ligation Cloning Extract;TCGA,The Cancer Genome Atlas;TCL,total cell lysates;TGN,trans-Golgi network;TMA,tissue microarray;TMR,tetramethyl rhodamine;TSG101,tumor susceptibility gene 101.Yue Yao and Yi Xu contributed equally to this work
