Although MVs shed by the human cervical carcinoma HeLa cell line did not have any detectable VEGF (Fig. 3e; Supplementary Fig. 3C); interestingly, we detected MVs with associated VEGF90K in other human cancer cell lines including U87 glioblastoma cells and HT29 colorectal adenocarcinoma cells (Supplementary Fig. 3F). The gene discussed is VEGFA; the disease is cervical carcinoma.
