Exosomes are a heterogeneous subset of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that biogenesis from endosomes. Besides, exosomes contain a variety of molecular cargoes including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which play a key role in the mechanism of exosome formation. Meanwhile, exosomes are involved with physiological and pathological conditions. The molecular profile of exosomes reflects the type and pathophysiological status of the originating cells so could potentially be exploited for diagnostic of cancer. This review aims to describe important molecular cargoes involved in exosome biogenesis. In addition, we highlight exogenous factors, especially autophagy, hypoxia and pharmacology, that regulate the release of exosomes and their corresponding cargoes. Particularly, we also emphasize exosome molecular cargoes as potential biomarkers in liquid biopsy for diagnosis of cancer.

Current perspectives on clinical use of exosomes as novel biomarkers for cancer diagnosis.

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women worldwide. Currently, patients' survival remains a challenge in BC due to the lack of effective targeted therapies and the difficult condition of patients with higher aggressiveness, metastasis and drug resistance. Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs), which are nanoscale vesicles with lipid bilayer envelopes released by various cell types in physiological and pathological conditions, play an important role in biological information transfer between cells. There is growing evidence that BC cell-derived sEVs may contribute to the establishment of a favorable microenvironment that supports cancer cells proliferation, invasion and metastasis. Moreover, sEVs provide a versatile platform not only for the diagnosis but also as a delivery vehicle for drugs. This review provides an overview of current new developments regarding the involvement of sEVs in BC pathogenesis, including tumor proliferation, invasion, metastasis, immune evasion, and drug resistance. In addition, sEVs act as messenger carriers carrying a variety of biomolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and metabolites, making them as potential liquid biopsy biomarkers for BC diagnosis and prognosis. We also described the clinical applications of BC derived sEVs associated MiRs in the diagnosis and treatment of BC along with ongoing clinical trials which will assist future scientific endeavors in a more organized direction.

The role and application of small extracellular vesicles in breast cancer.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a malignancy that seriously threatens human health, and metastasis from CRC is a major cause of death and poor prognosis for patients. Studying the potential mechanisms of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in tumor development may provide new options for early and effective diagnosis and treatment of CRC metastasis. In this review, we systematically describe how sEVs mediate epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), reconfigure the tumor microenvironment (TME), modulate the immune system, and alter vascular permeability and angiogenesis to promote CRC metastasis. We also discuss the current difficulties in studying sEVs and propose new ideas.
