“…Increasing evidence indicates that exosomes derived from tumor cells can regulate the tumor microenvironment and promote cancer progression via their cargos, which include proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids ( Anastasiadou and Slack, 2014 ; Lazaro-Ibanez et al, 2019 ; Zhang and Yu, 2019 ; Raimondo et al, 2020 ; Sahebi et al, 2020 ). Recent studies have demonstrated that PD-L1 also exists on the surface of exosomes generated by their parental tumor cells ( Chen G. et al, 2018 ; Lubin et al, 2018 ; Ricklefs et al, 2018 ; Theodoraki et al, 2018b ; Yang et al, 2018 ; Fan et al, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2019 ; Poggio et al, 2019 ; Cordonnier et al, 2020 ; Huang et al, 2020 ). Moreover, ExoPD-L1 can function as efficiently as PD-L1 on the tumor cell surface through direct ligation to PD-1 on the surface of lymphocytes in tumor foci ( Chen G. et al, 2018 ; Lubin et al, 2018 ; Ricklefs et al, 2018 ; Theodoraki et al, 2018b ; Yang et al, 2018 ; Fan et al, 2019 ; Kim et al, 2019 ; Poggio et al, 2019 ; Cordonnier et al, 2020 ; Huang et al, 2020 ).…”
