Breast cancer (BC) remains a significant global health challenge characterized by its heterogeneity and treatment complexities. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membranous particles released by cells, facilitating intercellular communication by transporting bioactive molecules such as proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Tumor-derived EVs have emerged as pivotal regulators in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and drivers of BC progression. These EVs carry diverse cargoes of bioactive molecules, influencing critical processes such as immune modulation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. By altering the behaviors of immune cells including macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells, tumor-derived EVs contribute to immune evasion and tumor growth. Furthermore, Tumor-derived EVs play a role in mediating drug resistance, impacting the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions. Understanding the multifaceted roles of BC tumor-derived EVs is essential for the development of innovative therapeutic strategies. Targeting pathways mediated by EVs holds promise for enhancing the efficacy of cancer treatments and improving patient outcomes. This comprehensive review provides insights into the intricate interactions of tumor-derived EVs in immune modulation and BC progression, highlighting potential therapeutic targets and avenues for novel cancer therapies.
乳腺癌(BC)仍然是一项重大的全球健康挑战,其特点是具有异质性和治疗复杂性。细胞外囊泡(EVs)是细胞释放的小膜性颗粒,通过运输蛋白质、脂质和核酸等生物活性分子促进细胞间通讯。肿瘤衍生的EVs已成为肿瘤微环境(TME)中的关键调节因子和BC进展的驱动因素。这些EVs携带多种生物活性分子货物,影响免疫调节、血管生成和转移等关键过程。通过改变包括巨噬细胞、树突状细胞和T细胞在内的免疫细胞行为,肿瘤衍生的EVs有助于免疫逃逸和肿瘤生长。此外,肿瘤衍生的EVs在介导耐药性方面发挥作用,影响治疗干预的有效性。了解BC肿瘤衍生EVs的多方面作用对于开发创新治疗策略至关重要。靶向由EVs介导的途径有望提高癌症治疗的疗效并改善患者预后。这篇全面的综述深入探讨了肿瘤衍生EVs在免疫调节和BC进展中的复杂相互作用,突出了潜在的治疗靶点和新型癌症治疗途径。
