چکیده

Exosomes are sub-100 nm extracellular vesicles secreted by normal and cancer cells. We present a high-resolution structure of previously unidentified nanofilaments on glioblastoma-derived exosomes, using nanoscale peak force imaging. These stiff, adhesive, trypsin- and RNAse-resistant surface nanofilaments add a new dimension to the current structural knowledge of exosome-mediated intercellular communication.

P154: Role of Exosomes as Novel Biomarkers in Diagnosis and Prognosis of Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma multiform(GBM) is the most prevalent primary brain tumor. Exosomes are extracellular vehicles for exchanging information between various cell types including cancer and normal cells. Exosomes are indicative of pathophysiological conditions of brain tumors that could be used in diagnosis and prognosis of GBM. In tumors, exosomes could carry various molecules like several miRNAs and ...

Nanostructural and Transcriptomic Analyses of Human Saliva Derived Exosomes

BACKGROUND Exosomes, derived from endocytic membrane vesicles are thought to participate in cell-cell communication and protein and RNA delivery. They are ubiquitous in most body fluids (breast milk, saliva, blood, urine, malignant ascites, amniotic, bronchoalveolar lavage, and synovial fluids). In particular, exosomes secreted in human saliva contain proteins and nucleic acids that could be ex...

Expression of Tumor Suppressors PTEN and TP53 in Isogenic Glioblastoma U-251MG Cells Affects Cellular Mechanical Properties – An AFM-based Quantitative Investigation

Glioblastoma is the most common and malign form of brain cancer that is highly resistant to therapy and particularly hard to cure since the blood-barrier is not very permeable to drugs. Moreover, a surgery is always highly risky. Thus, there is a real need to develop technique enabling accurate identification of potentially tumor cells at an early stage. It is getting well established that canc...
