Abstrakt: Cellular Communication Network (CCN) proteins are growth factors that play key roles in many pathophysiological events, including bone formation, wound healing, and cancer. CCN factors and fragments generated by metalloproteinases-dependent cleavage are often associated with extracellular matrix (ECM) or small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) such as exosomes or matrix-coated vesicles. We provide reliable methods and protocols for Western blotting to analyze CCN factors and fragments in cells, sEVs, and vesicle-free fractions.
