Exosomes isolation and characterization in non small cell lung carcinoma patients: Proof of concept study.

11101 Background: The liquid biopsy is a noninvasive tool that could change the vision of diagnostic, prognostic and predictive analysis in oncology. In the liquid biopsy potential blood-based biom...

Can curcumin induces selective packaging of miRNAs in exosomes? A pilot study in chronic myelogenous leukemia cells.

e13563 Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative disorder that comes from a hematopoietic stem cell or a multipotent progenitor. Exosomes are biological nanovescicles (40-100 nm)...

Follow up analysis by exosomal miRNAs in EGFR mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients during osimertinib (AZD9291) treatment: A potential prognostic biomarker tool.

e23035Background: NSCLC patients harboring EGFR mutations are able to receive approved tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) but to better assess the treatment responses new tools are needed. Liquid bi...

Abstract 3382: Exosomes analysis in non-small cell lung cancer: looking for a clinical application

Abstract BACKGROUND Cancer cells produce a heterogeneous mixture of vesicular, organelle-like structures (microvesicles or MVs) into their surroundings including blood and body fluid. In particular exosomes are biological nanovescicles (40-100 nm) that are formed by the inward budding of multivescicular bodies (MVB), as a component of the endocytic pathway. They are released from different cell types under both normal and pathological conditions. Exosomal content is composed by proteins, DNA, mRNA and microRNA (miRNA) that are transferred to distant site and mediate inter-cellular communication. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The aim of this pilot study is to investigate whether exosomes isolation fr…
