Exosomal HSP60 levels and related miRNAs in brain tumors

In cancer, Extracellular Vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes, contribute to tumor progression by regulating local and systemic parameters [1,2]. Since exosomes are released into body fluids, they may be used in nanomedicine as a valuable source of diagnostic biomarkers [3]. The prognosis of brain tumors is poor even after surgical resection followed by post-operatory chemo- and radio-therapies and it is cogent to find innovative treatments. The discovery that molecular chaperones can be determinant factors in tumorigenesis and the increasing understanding of exosomes, particularly in what refers to their release by tumor cells and contents, including chaperones and miRNA, provide elements to d…
