hnRNPA2B1 facilitates ovarian carcinoma metastasis by sorting cargoes into small extracellular vesicles driving myofibroblasts activation by Qiulei Wu, Pan Liu, Xiaoli Liu, Guoqing Li, Lin Huang, Feiquan Ying, Lanqing Gong, Wenhan Li, Jingni Zhang, Rui Gao, Xiaoqing Yi, Linjuan Xu, Lili Yu, Zehua Wang, Jing Cai

“…Meanwhile, after hnRNPA2B1-knockdown, OvCa-sEVs largely lost the ability to promote omental metastasis and myofibroblast activation in vivo and in vitro. High-throughput miRNA sequencing of sEV cargoes revealed that UAG motif-containing miRNAs were significantly affected by hnRNPA2B1, and RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) verified their direct binding to hnRNPA2B1. …”
