Takahiro Ochiya,
Professor,
Department of Molecular and Cellular Medicine, Tokyo Medical University
Dr. Takahiro Ochiya was a Chief of Division of Molecular and Cellular Medicine at the National Cancer Center Research Institute, Tokyo since 2011 and he is currently appointed as professor of Tokyo Medical University (since 2018). After he got Ph.D. in 1988 in Osaka University and then went to do a post-doc at La Jolla Cancer Research (Burnham Institute for Medical Research), CA, USA. Dr. Ochiya’s lab focuses the development of novel animal models, methods, and strategies to study cancer development and metastasis. Especially, current focuses are siRNA- and microRNA-based therapy against cancer stem cells. Dr. Ochiya is one of top scientist in Exosome research in cancer area and carries President of Japanese Society of Extracellular Vesicles (JSEV) since 2014.

Exosomes are 50-150 nm size in diameter extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by multiple living cells into the extracellular space. They contain tissue or cell-specific bioactive materials, including DNAs, mRNAs, ncRNAs, proteins, lipids, metabolites, etc. with their specific surface markers, such as, CD9, CD63, CD81, Alix, etc. Exosomes have been considered as information carriers in cell communication between cancer cells and non-cancer cells, which affect gene expressions and cellular signalling pathways of recipient cells by delivering their contents. Exosomes are promising tools for improving cancer care, but conversely may also contribute to tumor progression. Here, we highlight recently discovered roles of exosomes in modulating cancer microenvironment. We also discuss how exosomes could be exploited as biomarkers for a novel platform of liquid biopsy and delivery vehicles in cancer therapy.
