Fig. 6From: Exosomal circCOL1A1 promotes angiogenesis via recruiting EIF4A3 protein and activating Smad2/3 pathway in colorectal cancerExosomal circCOL1A1 promotes angiogenesis through Smad2/3 pathway. HUVECs were transfected with pcDNA3.1-NC or pcDNA3.1-EIF4A3, followed by treatment with CRC cell-derived exosomes. (A) The protein levels of VEGFR and p-Smad2, Smad2, p-Smad3, and Smad3 were detected by western blot. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01, ***, P < 0.001Back to article page
