Systemic immunosuppression greatly affects the chemotherapeutic antitumor effect. Here, we showed that CD19 extracellular vesicles (EVs) from B cells through CD39 and CD73 vesicle-incorporated proteins hydrolyzed ATP from chemotherapy-treated tumor cells into adenosine, thus impairing CD8 T cell responses. Serum CD19 EVs were increased in tumor-bearing mice and patients. Patients with fewer serum CD19 EVs had a better prognosis after chemotherapy. Upregulated hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) promoted B cells to release CD19 EVs by inducing Rab27a mRNA transcription. Rab27a or HIF-1α deficiency in B cells inhibited CD19 EV production and improved the chemotherapeutic antitumor effect. Silencing of Rab27a in B cells by inactivated Epstein-Barr viruses carrying Rab27a siRNA greatly improved chemotherapeutic efficacy in humanized immunocompromised NOD PrkdcIl2rg mice. Thus, decreasing CD19 EVs holds high potential to improve the chemotherapeutic antitumor effect.

Off-target neuronal injury is a serious side-effect observed in cancer survivors. It has previously been shown that pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) survivors have a decline in neurocognition compared to healthy age-matched counterparts. Elevated oxidative stress has been documented to be a mediator in off-target tissue damage in cancer survivors.

Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) causes a systemic inflammatory response that can worsen patient outcomes. Off-pump surgery has been associated with a reduced inflammatory response. The precise mechanisms and the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in this context are not fully understood.

Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome (INS) is a common childhood glomerular disease requiring intense immunosuppressive drug treatments. Prediction of treatment response and the occurrence of relapses remains challenging. Biofluid-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) may serve as novel liquid biopsies for INS classification and monitoring.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are heterogeneous, phospholipid membrane enclosed particles that are secreted by healthy and cancerous cells. EVs are present in diverse biological fluids and have been associated with the severity of diseases, which indicates their potential as biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and as therapeutic targets. This study investigated the phenotypic characteristics of EVs derived from peripheral blood (PB) and bone marrow (BM) in pediatric patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) during different treatment stages.

The intricate processes that govern the interactions between peripatetic immune cells and distal renal injury in obesity are not fully understood. Employing transcriptomic analysis of circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs), a marked amplification of small RNA (miR-3960) is discerned within CD3CD19 B cells. This RNA is found to be preferentially augmented in kidney tissues, contrasting with its subdued expression in other organs.
