2. Figure 1 Expression of miR-214 and Its Potential Targets
(A) Expression levels of miR-214 in ges-1, SGC7901, and SGC7901/DDP were examined by qRT-PCR. (B) Potential targets of miR-214 were predicted via LC-ESI-MS/MS in SGC7901. Different shades represented different expression levels of relative genes. The darker it was, the higher the gene expressed. (C) Western blots were conducted to verify the possible targets in both SGC7901 and SGC7901/DDP cells. (D) Gray analysis of (C). (E) Cell viability for different drug concentrations in SGC7901 was tested by CCK-8, and the inhibition ratio was calculated. (F) Inhibition ratio in SGC7901/DDP cells. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < All error bars stand for SE.

(A) Image of exosomes from HEK293T cell medium through a transmission electron microscope. (B) Marker proteins for exosomes were determined via western blot and assessed by gray analysis. (C) Exosomes stained with PKH26 fused into gastric cancer cells. (D) qRT-PCR was applied to test the expression levels of miR-214 and anti-miR-214 in HEK exosomes. (E) Expression levels of the potential target proteins in SGC7901 and SGC7901/DDP cells were detected by western blot. (F) Gray analysis of (E). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < All error bars stand for SE.
