Popis: | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we describe the biology of extracellular vesicles (EV) and how they contribute to bone-associated cancers. RECENT FINDINGS: Crosstalk between tumor and bone have been demonstrated to promote tumor and metastatic progression. In addition to direct cell to cell contact and soluble factors, such as cytokines, EVs mediate crosstalk between tumor and bone. EVs are composed of a heterogenous group of membrane-delineated vesicles of varying size range, mechanisms of formation and content. These include apoptotic bodies, microvesicles, large oncosomes and exosomes. EVs derived from primary tumors have been shown to alter bone remodeling and create formation of a pre-metastatic niche that favors development of bone metastasis. Similarly, EVs from marrow stromal cells have been shown to promote tumor progression. Additionally, EVs can act as therapeutic delivery vehicles due to their low immunogenicity and targeting specificity. SUMMARY: EVs play critical roles in intercellular communication. Multiple classes of EVs exist based on size on mechanism of formation. In addition to a role in pathophysiology, EVs can be exploited as therapeutic delivery vehicles. |
