Abstract

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been identified as important mediators of cancer metastasis, especially in the establishment of organ-specific metastatic niches. These membranous vesicles secreted by tumor cells release diverse bioactive cargo, including proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, thereby allowing for intercellular communication and microenvironment modulation. Recent evidence demonstrates that EVs can also contribute to the formation of pre-metastatic niches by reprogramming immune cells, modifying the stromal environment, and inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) to promote metastatic colonization. In this review, we describe the molecular mechanism of organotropic metastasis orchestrated by EVs, with special emphasis on immune modulation and tumor microenvironment reprogramming. We also explore the potential of EVs as biomarkers for early detection of metastasis and as potential therapeutic targets for combating metastatic progression. Dissociating EV species and their influence on tumor dissemination will undoubtedly pave the way for implementing novel anti-cancer strategies to intercept tumor dissemination at its very early stages.

摘要

细胞外囊泡(EVs)已被确定为癌症转移的重要介质,尤其是在器官特异性转移微环境的建立过程中。这些由肿瘤细胞分泌的膜性囊泡释放出多种生物活性物质,包括蛋白质、核酸和脂质,从而实现细胞间通讯和微环境调节。最近的证据表明,EVs还可通过对免疫细胞进行重编程、改变基质环境以及诱导上皮-间质转化(EMT)来促进转移定植,进而有助于前转移微环境的形成。在这篇综述中,我们描述了由EVs精心编排的器官趋向性转移的分子机制,特别强调免疫调节和肿瘤微环境重编程。我们还探讨了EVs作为转移早期检测生物标志物以及作为对抗转移进展潜在治疗靶点的潜力。区分EV种类及其对肿瘤播散的影响无疑将为实施新的抗癌策略铺平道路,以便在肿瘤播散的极早期阶段进行拦截。
