Exosomes were labeled with PKH26 red fluorescent dye (Sigma-Aldrich, USA) following the manufacturer’s protocol. A total of 50 μg of exosomes were resuspended in 100 μl PBS and were added to 5 × 105 gastric tumor cells. Faction was stained with phalloidin-FITC (green), and DAPI (blue) was used to keep the nucleus. To track exosomes, exosomes secreted from GC cells were labeled with PKH26 red fluorescent dye (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), while circRELL1 was marked with GFP (green), and DAPI (blue) was used to mark the nucleus. Subsequently, a fluorescence microscope (Zeiss, LSM700B, Germany) was adopted to examine stained cells. The uptake capacity of AGS and SGC-7901 into exosomes (exos-Vector/exos-circRELL1) was assessed via immunofluorescence assays and qRT-PCR.
