The perivascular niche in glioma is critical for the maintenance of glioma stem cells (GSCs), and tumour-endothelial cell (EC) communication impacts tumourigenesis in ways that are incompletely understood. Here, we show that gliomaassociated human endothelial cells (GhECs), a main component of the perivascular niche, release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that increase GSC proliferation and tumour-sphere formation. GSCs treated with GhEC-EVs create a significantly greater tumour burden than do untreated GSCs in orthotopic xenografts. Mechanistic, analysis of EVs content identified CD9 as a mediator of the effects on GSCs. CD9 can activate the BMX/STAT3 signalling pathway in GSCs. Our results illuminate the tumour-supporting role of ECs by identifying that EC-derived EVs transfer of CD9 during intercellular communication, thereby enhancing the aggressiveness of glioblastoma by specifically maintaining GSCs.
