Failure of Bcl-2 to block cytochrome c redistribution during TRAIL-induced apoptosis.

abstract：:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain microRNAs (miRNAs). However, the exact molecular mechanisms of the recruitment of miRNAs in EVs are not well characterized. Based on proteomic analysis, we identified that silencing of Annexin A2 (ANXA2) significantly decreased the amount of miRNAs in EVs. In addition, microarray a...
