Table 1 Role of exosomes in risk and etiology of cancer
Exosomes source | Cargo | Key findings | Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
Breast milk | miR-148a | Target DNMT1 to influence risk of cancer | |
Serum of patient | CagA | Establish a possible link between infection of H. pylori and development of GC | [66] |
EBV-infected NPC cell | LMP1 and EBV-miRNAs | Activate oncogenic ERK and AKT signaling pathways in uninfected recipient cells | |
HPV-positive cervical cancer cell | Viral DNA and transcripts | Provide evidence of exosome-mediated transfer of viral genetic information |
