Cytarabine (Ara-C) has been one of the frontline therapies for clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorders, such as myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but Ara-C resistance often occurs and leads to treatment failure. Exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs, miRs) as small noncoding RNA that play important roles in post-transcriptional gene regulation, can be delivered into recipient cells by exosomes and regulate target genes' expression. miR92a has been reported to be dysregulated in many cancers, including MDS and AML. However, the effects of exosomal miR92a in hematologic malignancies have not been fully investigated. In this study, qualitative analysis showed the significantly enhanced expression of exosomal miR92a in MDS/AML plasma. Subsequent functional assays indicated that exosomal miR92a can be transported and downregulate PTEN in recipient cells and, furthermore, activate the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and interfere with the Ara-C resistance of receipt MDS/AML cells in vitro and in vivo. Altogether, our findings offer novel insights into plasma exosomal miR92a participating in Ara-C resistance in MDS/AML and we propose miR92a as a potential therapeutic target for MDS/AML.

Background: Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) is the deadliest gynaecological cancer with high mortality rates driven by the common development of resistance to chemotherapy. EOC frequently invades the omentum, an adipocyte-rich organ of the peritoneum and omental adipocytes have been implicated in promoting disease progression, metastasis and chemoresistance. The signalling mechanisms underpinning EOC omentum tropism have yet to be elucidated.

Gastric cancer (GC) poses a significant global health challenge because of its high mortality rate attributed to the late-stage diagnosis and lack of early symptoms. Early cancer diagnostics is crucial for improving the survival rates in GC patients, which emphasizes the importance of identifying GC markers for liquid biopsy. The review discusses a potential use of extracellular vesicle microRNAs (EV miRNAs) as biomarkers for the diagnostics and prognostics of GC.

Cancer-associated Fibroblasts (CAFs) exert a tumor-promoting effect in various cancers, including breast cancer. CAFs secrete exosomes containing miRNA and proteins, influencing the tumor microenvironment. In this study, we identified CAF-derived exosomes that transport functional miR-92a from CAFs to tumor cells, thereby intensifying the aggressiveness of breast cancer.

Background: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and progressive disorder with unknown etiology. To date, the identification of new diagnostic, prognostic and progression biomarkers of IPF turns out to be necessary. MicroRNA (miRNA) are small non-coding RNAs which negatively regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level in several biological and pathological processes.
