Extracellular Vesicle-Mediated Communication between the Glioblastoma and Its Microenvironment

Abstract: The glioblastoma is the most malignant form of brain cancer. Glioblastoma cells use multiple ways of communication with the tumor microenvironment in order to tune it for their own benefit. Among these, extracellular vesicles have emerged as a focus of study in the last few years. Extracellular vesicles contain soluble proteins, DNA, mRNA and non-coding RNAs with which they can modulate the phenotypes of recipient cells. In this review we summarize recent findings on the extracellular vesicles-mediated bilater… Show more

“…In GBM, EV protein-cargo has for example been associated with the phenotypic signature of GBM cells [23], while TMZ treatment has been shown to increase EV release in GBM and to promote more pro-oncogenic EV signatures [24]. Similarly, as in other cancers, GBM cells use EVs for inter-cellular communication in the tumour and to influence the surrounding microenvironment to promote tumour growth, angiogenesis, metabolism and invasion [20,[25][26][27][28][29][30]. The regulation of EV biogenesis has therefore received increasing attention in recent years as an interceptive strategy in cancer, both to sensitize cancer cells to chemotherapy and to limit tumour growth in vivo [8,9,[31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38].…”

“…Supporting the importance of cell–cell interactions in glioma, the requirement for two oncogenes to drive tumor formation (i.e., RasV12, scribbled ) can be achieved even when these genes are not expressed in the same cells, but rather in neighboring clones [ 144 ]. Since then, several studies have revealed the role that EVs play in mediating cell–cell interactions in glioma, as elegantly reviewed [ 145 , 146 ].…”

“…Numerous studies have reported the non-cell autonomous effects of GBM tumor-derived EVs on neural cells present in the tumor microenvironment, including astrocytes, endothelial cells and pericytes ( Figure 2 ) [ 145 , 146 ]. Some key studies are worth mentioning due to their emerging role as biomarkers for clinical staging and treatment response.…”

“…EVs are secreted by most if not all cells in the brain, including oligodendrocytes 14 , astrocytes 15 , neurons 16 , as well as cancerous cells 17 . There are now several examples of glioma cells interacting with cells in the tumor niche via EVs 18,19 . Strikingly, while EVs from higher-grade gliomas are generally growth promoting, the few studies conducted with ODG suggest that ODG-derived EVs may be cytotoxic 20,21 .…”
