| 33269813 | Exosome EpCAM promotes the metastasis of glioma by targeting the CD44 signaling molecule on the surface of glioma cells. | Exosome EpCAM promoted the metastasis of glioma by targeting CD44. Exosomes were present in the serum, and the proteins CD81 and CD63 were expressed in all 3 groups. The expression of CD81 and CD63 was measured to identify exosomes. |
| 33315384 | Mass Spectrometry Imaging of Mass Tag Immunoassay Enables the Quantitative Profiling of Biomarkers from Dozens of Exosomes. | MCF-7 and MDA-MB231, were distinguished by the level of surface protein biomarkers of CD9, CD44, and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) acquired by the method, demonstrating that exosomes could be used for the diagnosis of cancer at subtype level. |
| 33327484 | HNC0014, a Multi-Targeted Small-Molecule, Inhibits Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma by Suppressing c-Met/STAT3/CD44/PD-L1 Oncoimmune Signature and Eliciting Antitumor Immune Responses. | Subsequently, we showed that tumorsphere-derived exosomes promoted cisplatin (CDDP) resistance and colony and tumorsphere formation in parental HNSCC cells, accompanied by an increased level of oncogenic/immune evasive markers, namely, c-Met, STAT3, CD44, and PD-L1. |
| 33450254 | Exosome-mediated delivery of functionally active miRNA-375-3p mimic regulate epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) of colon cancer cells. | The in vitro results showed that the tumor derived exosomes can efficiently deliver miR-375 mimic to reduce the expression of β-catenin, vimentin, ZEB1, and snail. |
| 33456364 | Subpopulations of exosomes purified via different exosomal markers carry different microRNA contents. | In this study, exosomes from the serum of C57BL/6 mice after cecum ligation and perforation (CLP) or sham operation were isolated by precipitation using ExoQuick-TC and affinity purified with anti-Rab5b, anti-CD9, anti-CD31, and anti-CD44 antibodies using the Exo-Flow Exosome Capture kit to collect exosome subpopulations. The miRNAs in the exosomes captured by anti-Rab5b or anti-CD9 antibodies were more similar to those isolated by ExoQuick-TC than to those captured by anti-CD44 antibodies. |
| 33627162 | Exosome-mediated transfer of CD44 from high-metastatic ovarian cancer cells promotes migration and invasion of low-metastatic ovarian cancer cells. | And CD44 could be transferred to the HO8910 cells through exosomes from HO8910PM cells and influence the migration and invasion ability of HO8910 cells. |

| 33823894 | Chemotherapy-elicited exosomal miR-378a-3p and miR-378d promote breast cancer stemness and chemoresistance via the activation of EZH2/STAT3 signaling. | In addition, STAT3, which is enhanced by zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), bound to the promoter regions of miR-378a-3p and miR-378d, thereby increasing their expression in exosomes. More importantly, chemotherapeutic agents combined with the EZH2 inhibitor tazemetostat reversed chemotherapy-elicited exosome-induced drug resistance in a nude mouse tumor xenograft model. |
