Colorectal cancer-derived extracellular vesicles induce transformation of fibroblasts into colon carcinoma cells
14 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We reported that horizontal transfer of malignant traits to target cells is a potential pathway to explain cancer dissemination. Although these results were encouraging, they were never corroborated by data showing the molecular mechanisms responsible for the observed phenomenon. METHODS: In the present study, we exposed BRCA1-KO fibroblasts to extracellular vesicles (EVs) isolated from a colon cancer...
