Purpose: Exosomal transfer RNA-derived fragments [exo-tRF] possess the capacity to be employed as biomarkers for several types of cancer. We aim to ascertain the diagnostic significance of exosomal 5'tRF-TyrGTA and 5'tRF-ValTAC in non-small cell lung cancer [NSCLC].
Methods: Ultracentrifugation was deployed to obtain serum exosomes from NSCLC patients and healthy donors. The acquired exosomes were then confirmed by transmission electron microscopy [TEM], qNano, and western blot [WB] techniques. The level of exo- tRF expression was validated by the use of microarrays and RT-qPCR. The diagnostic performance of exo-tRFs for NSCLC was determined through the receiver operating characteristic curve [ROC].
Results: Exosomal 5'tRF-TyrGTA and 5'tRF-ValTAC were significantly downregulated in both early- and late-stage NSCLC patients compared to healthy donors, representing favorable diagnostic efficiency for NSCLC. In addition, the exosomal 5'tRF-TyrGTA level was correlated with tumor stage and lymph node metastasis.
Conclusion: Exosomal 5'tRF-TyrGTA and 5'tRF-ValTAC can serve as potential biomarkers for NSCLC.

Ferroptosis is a novel, iron-dependent form of non-apoptotic cell death characterized by the accumulation of lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) and mitochondrial shrinkage. It is closely associated with the onset and progression of various diseases, especially cancer, at all stages, making it a key focus of research for developing therapeutic strategies. Numerous studies have explored the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in regulating ferroptosis by modulating the expression of critical genes involved in iron metabolism and lipid peroxidation.

Background: Glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs) and their exosomes (exos) are involved in shaping the immune microenvironment, which is important for tumor invasion and recurrence. However, studies involving GSC-derived exosomal circular RNAs (GDE-circRNAs) in regulating tumor microenvironment (TME) remain unknown. Here, we comprehensively evaluated the significance of a novel immune-related GDE-circRNA in glioma microenvironment.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from brain-seeking breast cancer cells (Br-EVs) breach the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via transcytosis and promote brain metastasis. Here, we defined the mechanisms by which Br-EVs modulate brain endothelial cell (BEC) dynamics to facilitate their BBB transcytosis. BEC treated with Br-EVs show significant downregulation of Rab11fip2, known to promote vesicle recycling to the plasma membrane and significant upregulation of Rab11fip3 and Rab11fip5, which support structural stability of the endosomal compartment and facilitate vesicle recycling and transcytosis, respectively.
