To resolve the specificity of organotropism, we have determined that tumor exosomal integrins are key determinants for guiding organotropic targeting and the sequential Src phosphorylation and pro-inflammatory S100 gene expression happens in the recipient cell. Therefore, a pre-metastatic niche is created for subsequent cancer metastasis. Blocking of exosomal integrins, such as a6ß4 and a6ß1 were associated with lung metastasis, impaired lung metastasis. Together, these data indicate tumor exosomes may be used for prediction and therapeutic targets of cancer metastasis. |
