Abstract

Small endogenous vesicles called exosomes are beginning to be explored as drug delivery vehicles. The in vivo targets of exosomes are poorly understood; however, they are believed to be important in cell-to-cell communication and may play a prominent role in cancer metastasis. We aimed to elucidate whether cancer derived exosomes can be used as drug delivery vehicles that innately target tumors over normal tissue. Our in vitro results suggest that while there is some specificity towards cancer cells over “immortalized” cells, it is unclear if the difference is sufficient to achieve precise in vivo targeting. Additionally, we found that exosomes associate with their cellular targets to a significantly greater extent (> 10-fold) than liposomes of a similar size. Studies on the association of liposomes mimicking the unique lipid content of exosomes revealed that the lipid composition contributes significantly to cellular adherence/internalization. Cleavage of exosome surface proteins yielded exosomes exhibiting reduced association with their cellular targets, demonstrating the importance of proteins in binding/internalization. Furthermore, although acidic conditions are known to augment the metastatic potential of tumors, we found that cells cultured at low pH released exosomes with significantly less potential for cellular association than cells cultured at physiological pH.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
