Engineered neutrophil-derived exosome-like vesicles for targeted cancer therapy

Jiahui Zhang et al.

Summary: In this study, it was found that neutrophil-derived exosomes (N-Ex) can induce tumor cell apoptosis by delivering cytotoxic proteins and activating caspase signaling pathway. By decorating N-Ex with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), a higher tumor-targeting therapeutic effect can be achieved. Moreover, exosome-like nanovesicles (NNVs) were fabricated with high yield. Compared to liposome-loaded doxorubicin (DOX) and natural NNVs, DOX-loaded NNVs showed improved inhibition of tumor cell proliferation. Additionally, DOX-loaded, SPION-decorated NNVs selectively accumulated at tumor sites under an external magnetic field, effectively restraining tumor growth and significantly prolonging survival rate in mice.

Exosomes in cancer immunoediting and immunotherapy

Yarong Zhao et al.

Summary: As an important means of communication among cells, exosomes are increasingly studied, especially in the context of cancer immunotherapy. Exosomes derived from tumor cells and different immune cells have complex and changeable physiological functions due to carrying different proteins and nucleic acids from the source cells. Based on the role of exosomes in intercellular communication, cancer treatment methods are continuously being researched. This review briefly introduces the molecular composition of exosomes and its secretion mechanism, summarizes the role of exosomes encapsulating different information molecules, and provides a detailed introduction to the role of exosomes in the three phases of tumor immunoediting and the relevant literature of exosomes in the tumor immune microenvironment.

Impact on NK cell functions of acute versus chronic exposure to extracellular vesicle-associated MICA: Dual role in cancer immunosurveillance

Elisabetta Vulpis et al.

Summary: This study investigated the immunomodulatory properties of the NKG2D ligand MICA*008 associated with different populations of extracellular vesicles (sEVs and mEVs). The results showed that MICA*008 is present on both vesicle populations, and NKG2D is involved in the uptake of vesicles expressing its cognate ligand. MICA*008-expressing sEVs and mEVs can activate NK cells, but prolonged stimulation leads to NKG2D downmodulation and impaired NKG2D-mediated functions. Additionally, MICA*008 can be transferred by vesicles to NK cells, causing fratricide. The accumulation of NKG2D ligands associated with vesicles in the tumor microenvironment may suppress NK cell activity.

Three-dimensional hierarchical plasmonic nano-architecture based label-free surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy detection of urinary exosomal miRNA for clinical diagnosis of prostate cancer

Woo Hyun Kim et al.

Summary: Urinary exosomal miRNAs have emerged as valuable biomarkers for early-stage diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer due to their non-invasiveness, stability, and representation of cell status. However, developing an accurate detection method for urinary exosomal miRNAs is challenging due to their low abundance and sequence homology. In this study, a label-free miRNA sensing platform using surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was developed, based on a three-dimensional hierarchical plasmonic nano-architecture, for the detection of urinary exosomal miRNAs. Clinical validation using urinary samples demonstrated that the SERS sensor achieved high diagnostic accuracy for distinguishing prostate cancer patients from healthy controls based on differential expression of urinary exosomal miRNAs. This study highlights the potential of the SERS sensor for facile and accurate measurement of miRNA expression and its importance in disease diagnosis.

TCF4 enhances hepatic metastasis of colorectal cancer by regulating tumor-associated macrophage via CCL2/CCR2 signaling

Wei Tu et al.

Summary: Colorectal cancer liver metastasis is a significant clinical problem, and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) recruitment and M2 polarization are closely associated with elevated TCF4 expression in the metastatic site. TCF4 deficiency reduces TAM infiltration and M2 polarization, mediated by the regulated CCL2 and CCR2 expression. These findings suggest that the TCF4-CCL2-CCR2 axis plays a crucial role in CRC liver metastasis by enhancing TAMs recruitment and M2 polarization.
