Abstract

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent stromal cells that can be obtained from various human tissues and organs. They can differentiate into a wide range of cell types, including osteoblasts, adipocytes and chondrocytes, thus exhibiting great potential in regenerative medicine. Numerous studies have indicated that MSCs play critical roles in cancer biology. The crosstalk between tumour cells and MSCs has been found to regulate many tumour behaviours, such as proliferation, metastasis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Multiple lines of evidence have demonstrated that MSCs can secrete exosomes that can modulate the tumour microenvironment and play important roles in tumour development. Notably, very recent works have shown that mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-derived exosomes) are critically involved in cancer resistance to chemotherapy agents, targeted-therapy drugs, radiotherapy and immunotherapy. In this review, we systematically summarized the emerging roles and detailed molecular mechanisms of MSC-derived exosomes in mediating cancer therapy resistance, thus providing novel insights into the clinical applications of MSC-derived exosomes in cancer management.

Fig. 2 MSC-derived exosomes in cancer therapy resistance. MSC-derived exosomes participate in cancer drug resistance, immunotherapy and radiotherapy resistance through complex mechanisms, including evasion of apoptosis, modulation of cancer stem cells, and regulation of cancer dormancyCC BY · PubMed Central

Fig. 3 Applications of MSC-derived exosomes in cancer therapy. MSC-derived exosomes can be employed to deliver functional RNAs including miRNAs and siRNA to enhance the drug sensitivity, and deliver anticancer drugs such as chemotherapeutic agents. Moreover, MSC-derived exosomes are capable of repairing radiotherapy-induced damage through complex mechanisms, including promotion of cellular proliferation, promotion of angiogenesis capability, inhibition of inflammation and oxidation, and reduction of the pathogenesis of fibrosisCC BY · PubMed Central

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.
