The progression to a castration-resistant prostate cancer can occur after treatment with androgen deprivation therapy, resulting in poor prognosis and ineffective therapy response. Hormone dependence transition has been associated with increased tumor vascularization. Considering that exosomes are important components in communication between tumor cells and the microenvironment, we examined the angiogenic potential of exosomes released from Pca cell lines with distinctive profiles of androgen response through exosomes isolation, microscopy and uptake, functional assays follow up by microarray, RT-qPCR and bioinformatics analysis. HUVEC cells treated with PC-3 exosomes (androgen independent) showed increased invasion and tube formation ability. In order to identify microRNAs (miRNAs) related to the angiogenic response, the characterization of exosomal miRNA profile was performed. As result we suggest that the miR-27a-3p could be involved in the pro-angiogenic effect of PC-3 exosomes.

This study investigated the role of urinary exosomal miR-664a-5p as a potential therapeutic target in prostate cancer (PCa). Small RNA sequencing of urinary exosomes from PCa patients with different responses to PARP inhibitors revealed that miR-664a-5p was significantly upregulated in responsive patients. Overexpression of miR-664a-5p enhanced the sensitivity of PCa cells to PARP inhibitors by directly targeting FOXM1, a transcription factor involved in DNA damage repair, leading to the downregulation of DNA damage response genes.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequent and sixth most fatal cancer in men worldwide. Despite its high prevalence, our understanding of its etiology and the molecular mechanisms involved in the progression of the disease is substantially limited. In recent years, the potential participation of exosomes in this process has been suggested.

As a novel class of non-invasive biomarkers, exosome-carried proteins are essential in early detection and precise cancer diagnosis. In the study, we developed an electrochemical biosensor based on MXenes-Au NPs modification to assess the differential expression of EGFR, CEA, and EpCAM proteins of exosomes. This sensor has sensitively detected tumor biomarkers in the exosomes generated by various tumor cells (including A549, MCF-7, PC-3, and HeLa).

Objective To identify the effect of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) loaded with annexin A2 (ANXA2) on the proliferation, migration, invasion of prostate cancer cells, and the transplanted tumor of prostate cancer in nude mice growth, as well as the role of macrophages in this process. Methods BMSCs from BALB/c nude mice were isolated and cultured. BMSCs were infected with lentiviral plasmids loaded with ANXA2.
