Patient-derived exosomes facilitate therapeutic targeting of oncogenic MET in advanced gastric cancer
Abstract
Gastric cancer (GC) with peritoneal metastases and malignant ascites continues to have poor prognosis. Exosomes mediate intercellular communication during cancer progression and promote therapeutic resistance. Here, we report the significance of exosomes derived from malignant ascites (EXO Ascites ) in cancer progression and use modified exosomes as resources for cancer therapy. EXO Ascites from patients with GC stimulated invasiveness and angiogenesis in an ex vivo three-dimensional autologous tumor spheroid microfluidic system. EXO Ascites concentration increased invasiveness, and blockade of their secretion suppressed tumor progression. In MET -amplified GC, EXO Ascites contain abundant MET; their selective delivery to tumor cells enhanced angiogenesis and invasiveness. Exosomal MET depletion substantially reduced invasiveness; an additive therapeutic effect was induced when combined with MET and/or VEGFR2 inhibition in a patient-derived MET -amplified GC model. Allogeneic MET-harboring exosome delivery induced invasion and angiogenesis in a MET non-amplified GC model. MET -amplified patient tissues showed higher exosome concentration than their adjacent normal tissues. Manipulating exosome content and production may be a promising complementary strategy against GC.

To examine the effect of exosomes on cancer invasiveness in our 3D spheroid system, the effects of targeted therapies and gw4869, which depletes exosome formation, were explored. Schematic illustration of the process used to verify the effect of exosome depletion on cancer progression (A) and the 3D tumor spheroid angiogenesis model on a chip. To test this, we used 10 μM gw4869, 1 μM savolitinib, and/or 1 μM ramucirumab.

The ECs gradually moved toward the 3D tumor spheroids. Fixed samples were immunostained with antibodies against EpCAM (for cancer; red) and lectin (for ECs; green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue) on day 6.

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.
