Abstract Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) followed by surgery is a standard approach for management of locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Patients who do not respond well to NAC have poor prognosis. Despite extensive research, the mechanisms chemoresistance in ESCC remain largely unknown. Here, we established paired tumor organoids – designated as PreNAC-O and PostNAC-O from one patient before after NAC, respectively. Although two did exhibit significant differences proliferation, morphology or drug sensitivity vitro, tumorigenicity vivo was significantly higher than that PreNAC-O. Xenografts tended keratinization, while those displayed conspicuous necrotic areas. The xenografts during comparable without treatment. Furthermore, gene expression profiles suggested genes involved EMT and/or hypoxia response might be related PostNAC-O. Our data residual cancer had been enhanced, outweighing effects chemotherapy, rather being attributable intrinsic chemoresistance. Further studies are required clarify extent which cancers share common mechanism similar revealed here.

Abstract In recent decades, emerging data have highlighted the critical role of extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially (exosomes) Exos, in progression and development several cancer types. These nano-sized are released by different cell lineages within niche maintain a suitable platform for interchange various signaling molecules paracrine manner. Based on studies, Exos can transfer oncogenic factors to other cells, alter activity immune tumor microenvironment, leading expansion cells metastasis remote sites. It has been indicated that cell-to-cell crosstalk is so complicated wide array involved this process. How which mechanisms regulate behavior non-cancer at center debate.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), nanoscale secreted by cells, have attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their role tumor immunomodulation. These facilitate intercellular communication transporting proteins, nucleic acids, and other biologically active substances, they exhibit a dual development immune evasion mechanisms. Specifically, EVs can assist cells evading surveillance attack impairing cell function or modulating immunosuppressive pathways, thereby promoting progression metastasis. Conversely, also transport release immunomodulatory factors that stimulate the activation regulation of system, enhancing body's capacity combat malignant diseases. This functionality presents promising avenues targets for immunotherapy. By examining biological characteristics influence on immunity, novel therapeutic strategies be developed improve efficacy relevance cancer treatment. review delineates complex immunomodulation explores potential implications approaches, aiming establish theoretical foundation provide practical insights advancement future EVs-based immunotherapy strategies.

Immune checkpoints (ICPs) play a crucial role in regulating the immune response. In tumor, malignant cells can hijack immunosuppressive effects of inhibitory ICPs to promote tumor progression. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by variety and contain bioactive molecules on their surface or within lumen. The expression has also been detected EVs. vitro vivo studies have shown that extracellular vesicle (EV ICPs) immunomodulatory involved immunity. EV isolated from peripheral blood cancer patients closely associated with progression prognosis patients. Blocking recognized as an effective strategy treatment. However, efficacy checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment is hindered emergence therapeutic resistance, which limits widespread use. Researchers demonstrated correlated clinical response ICIs therapy were resistance. Therefore, it essential investigate effects, underlying mechanisms, significance cancer. This review aims comprehensively explore these aspects. We provided comprehensive description cellular origins, cancer, based relevant studies.
