Extracellular vesicles: emerging targets for cancer therapy

Open access

Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, microvesicles and apoptotic bodies, are released by almost all cell types, including tumour cells. Through transfer of their molecular contents, EVs are capable of altering the function of recipient cells. Increasing evidence suggests a key role for EV-mediated intercellular communication in a variety of cellular processes involved in tumour development and progression, including immune suppression, angiogenesis and metastasis. Aspects of EV biogenesis or function are therefore increasingly being considered as targets for anti-cancer therapy. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the contributions of EVs to cancer pathogenesis and discuss novel therapeutic strategies to target EVs to prevent tumour growth and spread.

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.
