Abstract
Exosomes, small yet vital extracellular vesicles, play an integral role in intercellular communication. They transport critical components, such as proteins, lipid bilayers, DNA, RNA, and glycans, to target cells. These vesicles are crucial in modulating the extracellular matrix and orchestrating signal transduction processes. In oncology, exosomes are pivotal in tumor growth, metastasis, drug resistance, and immune modulation within the tumor microenvironment. Exosomal proteins, noted for their stability and specificity, have garnered widespread attention. This review delves into the mechanisms of exosomal protein loading and their impact on tumor development, with a focus on the regulatory effects of natural products and traditional Chinese medicine on exosomal protein loading and function. These insights not only offer new strategies and methodologies for cancer treatment but also provide scientific bases and directions for future clinical applications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chemoresistance and immunosuppression are two major obstacles in the current anti-cancer treatments. This study investigates the involvements of a CCAAT enhancer binding protein delta (CEBPD)/vesicle associated membrane protein 3 (VAMP3) axis in paclitaxel (PTX) resistance and immune evasion in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). METHODS PTX resistance-related genes were screened by bioinformatics. CEBPD and VAMP3 expression in clinical TNBC samples was examined by immunohistochemistry. Three PTX-resistant TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231/PTX, MDA-MB-468/PTX and MDA-MB-453/PTX) were generated, and their drug resistance was analyzed. Autophagy of cells was analyzed by immunofluorescence staining. Interaction between CEBPD and VAMP3 promoter was identified by immunoprecipitation and luciferase assays. The extracellular expression of programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in TNBC cells was detected. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from TNBC cells were isolated to examine their effects on CD8+ T cell exhaustion. RESULTS CEBPD and VAMP3 were upregulated in chemo-resistant tissue samples and in PTX-resistant TNBC cells. The CEBPD downregulation enhanced PTX sensitivity of cells. However, further upregulation of VAMP3 in cells restored PTX resistance, which was likely due to the activation of autophagy, as the autophagy antagonist chloroquine enhanced PTX sensitivity of cells. CEBPD was found to bind to the VAMP3 promoter to activate its transcription. The CEBPD/VAMP3 axis also increased the PD-L1 expression in the conditioned medium of TNBC cells. The TNBC cell-derived EVs increased the exhaustion of co-cultured CD8+ T cells. CONCLUSION This study provides novel evidence that CEBPD plays a key role in enhancing PTX resistance in TNBC cells across various subtypes through VAMP3-mediated autophagy activation. Additionally, the CEBPD/VAMP3 axis also increases extracellular PD-L1 level, delivered by cancer cell-derived EVs, to suppress CD8+ T cell-mediated anti-tumor immune response. These significant observations may provide new insights into the treatment of TNBC, suggesting CEBPD and VAMP3 as promising targets to overcome treatment resistance.

Abstract
Exosomes play a crucial role in facilitating intercellular communication within organisms. Emerging evidence indicates that a distinct variant of programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1), found on the surface of exosomes, may be responsible for orchestrating systemic immunosuppression that counteracts the efficacy of anti-programmed death-1 (PD-1) checkpoint therapy. Specifically, the presence of PD-L1 on exosomes enables them to selectively target PD-1 on the surface of CD8+ T cells, leading to T cell apoptosis and impeding T cell activation or proliferation. This mechanism allows tumor cells to evade immune pressure during the effector stage. Furthermore, the quantification of exosomal PD-L1 has the potential to serve as an indicator of the dynamic interplay between tumors and immune cells, thereby suggesting the promising utility of exosomes as biomarkers for both cancer diagnosis and PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor therapy. The emergence of exosomal PD-L1 inhibitors as a viable approach for anti-tumor treatment has garnered significant attention. Depleting exosomal PD-L1 may serve as an effective adjunct therapy to mitigate systemic immunosuppression. This review aims to elucidate recent insights into the role of exosomal PD-L1 in the field of immune oncology, emphasizing its potential as a diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic tool in lung cancer.

Abstract
Targeting immune checkpoint PD-1 or its ligand PD-L1 blockade has achieved a great therapeutic effect in a variety of cancer types. However, the overall response rate and duration are still limited for intrinsic and acquired resistance. There is an urgent need to understand the underlying mechanism. Studies showed that PD-L1 regulation is related to the response to PD-1 monoclonal antibodies (PD-1 mAB). Interestingly, emerging studies found that the different distribution of PD-L1 has distinct functions in tumor through the specific signaling pathways. Thus, controlling the distribution of PD-L1 provides an attractive therapeutic strategy for enhancing PD-1 mAB efficiency and rewiring the resistance. Here, we review the recent studies about the role and regulation of PD-L1 distribution from synthesis to surface delivery, internalization, recycling, or lysosome degradation and translocated into the nucleus or secreted into the extracellular space. We place this knowledge in the context of observations in the clinic and discuss the potential therapeutic strategies to enhance the efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

Abstract
Cancer is conventionally considered an evolutionary disease where tumor cells adapt to the environment and evolve eventually leading to the formation of metastasis through the seeding and growth of metastasis-initiating cells in distant organs. Tumor cell and tumor-stroma communication via soluble factors and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are essential for the success of the metastatic process. As the field of EVs advances, growing data support the role of tumor-derived EVs not only in modifying the microenvironment to facilitate tumor progression but also in inducing changes in cells outside the primary tumor that may lead to a malignant transformation. Thus, an alternative hypothesis has emerged suggesting the conceptualization of cancer as an 'infective' disease. Still, tackling EVs as a possible cancer treatment has not been widely explored. A major understanding is needed to unveil possible additional contributions of EVs in progression and metastasis, which may be essential for the development of novel approaches to treat cancer patients. Here, we review the contribution of EVs to cancer progression and the possible implication of these factors in the oncogenic transformation of indolent cells.

Abstract
Glioblastoma is the most aggressive variant of glioma, the tumor of glial origin which accounts for 80% of brain tumors. Glioblastoma is characterized by astoundingly poor prognosis for patients; a combination of surgery, chemo- and radiotherapy used for clinical treatment of glioblastoma almost inevitably results in rapid relapse and development of more aggressive and therapy resistant tumor. Recently, it was demonstrated that extracellular vesicles produced by glioblastoma (GBM-EVs) during apoptotic cell death can bind to surrounding cells and change their phenotype to more aggressive. GBM-EVs participate also in establishment of immune suppressive microenvironment that protects glioblastoma from antigen-specific recognition and killing by T cells. In this review, we collected present data concerning characterization of GBM-EVs and study of their effects on different populations of the immune cells (T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, myeloid-derived suppressor cells). We aimed at critical analysis of experimental evidence in order to conclude whether glioblastoma-derived extracellular vesicles are a major factor in immune evasion of this deadly tumor. We summarized data concerning potential use of GBM-EVs for non-invasive diagnostics of glioblastoma. Finally, the applicability of approaches aimed at blocking of GBM-EVs production or their fusion with target cells for treatment of glioblastoma was analyzed.

Abstract
For many tumor entities, tumor biology and response to therapy are reflected by components that can be detected and captured in the blood stream. The so called “liquid biopsy” has been stratified over time into the analysis of circulating tumor cells (CTC), extracellular vesicles (EVs), and free circulating components such as cell-free nucleic acids or proteins. In neuro-oncology, two distinct areas need to be distinguished, intrinsic brain tumors and tumors metastatic to the brain. For intrinsic brain tumors, specifically glioblastoma, CTCs although present in low abundance, contain highly relevant, yet likely incomplete biological information for the whole tumor. For brain metastases, CTCs can have clinical relevance for patients especially with oligometastatic disease and brain metastasis in cancers like breast and lung cancer. EVs shed from the tumor cells and the tumor environment provide complementary information. Sensitive technologies have become available that are able to detect both, CTCs and EVs in the peripheral blood of patients with intrinsic and metastatic brain tumors despite the blood brain barrier. In reference to glioblastoma EVs, being shed by tumor cells and microenvironment and being more diffusible than CTCs may yield a more complete reflection of the whole tumor compared to low-abundance CTCs representing only a fraction of the multiclonal tumor heterogeneity. We here review the emerging aspects of CTCs and EVs as liquid biopsy biomarkers in neuro-oncology.

Abstract
Exosomes, which are extracellular vesicles produced by endosomes, are important performers of intercellular communication functions. For more than three decades, there has been a growing awareness of exosomes as the contents of the tumor microenvironment and their intimate connection to the development of cancer. The composition, generation, and uptake of exosomes as well as their roles in tumor metastasis, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression are discussed in this paper. In order to stop the progression of cancer, it is crucial to find new diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for the disease. Knowing the biological characteristics of exosomes and their functions in tumor development helps in this endeavor.

Abstract
Cancer immunotherapy is increasingly popular in the field of cancer treatment, and related research is emerging. For patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), in recent years, immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) represented by programmed cell death 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) immunosuppressants, have become one of the most promising treatments for malignant tumors. Immune checkpoint blockade therapy includes anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) mAb, anti-PD-1 mAb and anti-PD-L1 mAb, with the best-known number of PD-L1 immunotherapy. At present, ICIs have achieved very good therapeutic results in clinical treatment, but with less effective efficiency, so we hope to obtain higher therapeutic efficiency. In recent years, exosomal PD-L1 has played an important role in the progress of immunotherapy for NSCLC. This paper reviews the effects of tumor exosomal PD-L1 protein on the tumor microenvironment, the effect prediction of immunotherapy, and as novel therapeutic strategies for immunotherapy in NSCLC.

Abstract
Exosomes are a subgroup of extracellular vesicles generated by distinct cells. Tumor-derived extracellular vesicles convey immunological checkpoint molecules. TEXs as critical mediators in tumor development, metastasis, and immune escape have recently become the focus of scientific research. Exosomes are involved in the regulation of the immune system. Exosomes interact with target cells in the tumor microenvironment, changing their function based on the cargo they contain. Exosomal immune checkpoints might be exploited to track tumor immune evasion, treatment response, and patient prognosis while enhancing tumor cell proliferation and spread. This review focuses on tumor-derived exosomes, their immunosuppressive effects in mice models, and their role in cancer immunotherapy. Exosomes are being studied as possible cancer vaccines, with numerous uses in tumor immunotherapy. Exosomes can carry chemotherapeutics, siRNA, and monoclonal antibodies. Exosomes produced by macrophages might be used to treat cancer. These and other clinical consequences provide new doors for cancer treatment.

Abstract
Molecular diagnostics devoted to discover and monitor new biomarkers is gaining increasing attention in clinical diagnosis. In this work, a programmable DNA-fueled electrochemical analysis strategy is designed for the determination of an emerging biomarker in lung cancer, PD-L1-expressing exosomes. Specifically, PD-L1-expressing exosomes are first enriched onto magnetic beads functionalized with PD-L1 antibody and are able to interact with cholesterol-modified hairpin templates. Then, programmable DNA synthesis starts from the hairpin template-triggered primer exchange reaction and generates a large number of extension products to activate the trans-cleavage activity of CRISPR-Cas12a. After that, CRISPR-Cas12a-catalyzed random cleavage boosts the degradation of methylene blue-labeled signaling strands, so electro-active methylene blue molecules can be enriched onto a cucurbit[7]uril-modified electrode for quantitative determination. Our method demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity toward electrochemical analysis of PD-L1-expressing exosomes in the range from 103 to 109 particles mL-1 with a low detection limit of 708 particles mL-1. When applied to clinical samples, our method reveals an elevated level of circulating PD-L1-expressing exosomes in lung cancer patients, especially for those at the advanced stages. Therefore, our method may provide new insight into liquid biopsy for better implementation of immunotherapy in lung cancer in the future.

Abstract
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common, highly aggressive malignant brain tumor which is marked by highest inter- and intra-tumoral heterogeneity. Despite, immunotherapy, and combination therapies developed; the clinical trials often result into large number of failures. Often cancer cells are known to communicate with surrounding cells in tumor microenvironment (TME). Extracellular vesicles (EVs) consisting of diverse cargo mediates this intercellular communication and is believed to modulate the immune function against GBM. Tumor-associated microglia (TAM), though being the resident innate immune cell of CNS, is known to attain pro-tumorigenic M2 phenotype, and this immunomodulation is aided by extracellular vesicle-mediated transfer of oncogenic, immunomodulatory molecules. Besides, oncogenic proteins, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), are believed to carry oncogenic potential, and therefore, understanding the mechanism leading to microglial dysregulation mediated by GBM-derived extracellular vesicle (GDEV) lncRNAs becomes crucial. This review focuses on current understanding of role of GDEV and lncRNA in microglial dysfunction and its potential as a therapeutic target.

Abstract
Research on the biological role of exosomes is rapidly developing, and recent evidence suggests that exosomal effects involve ferroptosis. Exosomes derived from different tissues inhibit ferroptosis, which increases tumour cell chemoresistance. Therefore, exosome-mediated regulation of ferroptosis may be leveraged to design anticancer drugs. This review discusses three pathways of exosome-mediated inhibition of ferroptosis: (1) the Fenton reaction; (2) the ferroptosis defence system, including the Xc-GSH-GPX4 axis and the FSP1/CoQ10/NAD(P)H axis; and (3) lipid peroxidation. We also summarize three recent approaches for combining exosomes and ferroptosis in oncology therapy: (1) promoting exosome-inhibited ferroptosis to enhance chemotherapy; (2) encapsulating exosomes with ferroptosis inducers to inhibit cancers; and (3) developing therapies that combine exosomal inhibitors and ferroptosis inducers. This review will contribute toward establishing effective cancer therapies.

Abstract
Cancer is a gravely important health issue all over the world and has been spreading fast. In recent years immune checkpoint treatment options have been used extensively as a primary line of treatment for different cancer types. PD-1 and its ligand, PD-L1, are members of the immune-checkpoints superfamily. Anti-PD-L1 and anti-PD-1 antibodies have shown efficacy against different cancer types, but fewer than 30% of patients have shown robust therapeutic responses and, therefore, it is hypothesized that exosomal PD-L1 is the mechanism to blame for failure in primary immune checkpoint therapy. The identical membrane topology of exosomal PD-L1 with tumor cell membrane-type provides the possibility to mimic immunosuppressive effects of tumor cell membrane PD-L1. In this review, it is discussed whether exosomal PD-L1 binds to antibodies and hence resistance to immunotherapy will be developed, and targeting exosome biogenesis inhibition can provide a new strategy to overcome tumor resistance to anti-PD-L1 therapy. Diagnostic and prognostic values of exosomal PD-L1 in different cancer types are discussed. Multiple clinical studies conclude that the level of tumor-derived exosomes (TEXs) as a biomarker for diagnosis could distinguish cancer patients from healthy controls. Elevated exosomal PD-L1 levels may be predictive of advanced disease stages, cancer metastasis, lower response to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy, lower overall survival rates, and poor tumor prognosis. These novel findings of TEXs serve as promising therapeutic targets for early diagnosis and prevention of cancer progression.

Abstract
Targeting immune checkpoints has achieved great therapeutic effects in the treatment of early-stage tumors. However, most patients develop adaptive resistance to this therapy. The latest evidence demonstrates that tumor-derived exosomes may play a key role in systemic immune suppression and tumor progression. In this article, we highlight the role of exosomal immune checkpoint proteins in tumor immunity, with an emphasis on programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4), as well as emerging evidence on roles of T cell immunoglobulin-3 (TIM-3), arginase 1 (ARG1), and estrogen receptor binding fragment-associated antigen 9 (EBAG9) expressed by exosomes.

Abstract
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a heterogeneous population of membrane-bound parcels of bioactive proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids released from almost all cell types. The diversity of cargo packaged into EVs proffer the induction of an array of effects on recipient cells. EVs released from tumor cells have emerged as a vital means of communication and immune modulation within the tumor microenvironment (TME). Macrophages are an important contributor to the TME with seemingly paradoxical roles promoting either pro- or anti-tumoral immune function depending on their activated phenotypes. Here, we discuss the influence of tumor-derived extracellular vesicles on the functional plasticity of macrophages in tumor progression.

Abstract
Upon T-cell receptor stimulation, the Programmed cell Death-1 receptor (PD-1) expressed on T-cells can interact with its ligand PD-L1 expressed at the surface of cancer cells or antigen-presenting cells. Monoclonal antibodies targeting PD-1 or PD-L1 are routinely used for the treatment of cancers, but their clinical efficacy varies largely across the variety of tumor types. A part of the variability is linked to the existence of several forms of PD-L1, either expressed on the plasma membrane (mPD-L1), at the surface of secreted cellular exosomes (exoPD-L1), in cell nuclei (nPD-L1), or as a circulating, soluble protein (sPD-L1). Here, we have reviewed the different origins and roles of sPD-L1 in humans to highlight the biochemical and functional heterogeneity of the soluble protein. sPD-L1 isoforms can be generated essentially by two non-exclusive processes: (i) proteolysis of m/exoPD-L1 by metalloproteases, such as metalloproteinases (MMP) and A disintegrin and metalloproteases (ADAM), which are capable of shedding membrane PD-L1 to release an active soluble form, and (ii) the alternative splicing of PD-L1 pre-mRNA, leading in some cases to the release of sPD-L1 protein isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain. The expression and secretion of sPD-L1 have been observed in a large variety of pathologies, well beyond cancer, notably in different pulmonary diseases, chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, and viral diseases. The expression and role of sPD-L1 during pregnancy are also evoked. The structural heterogeneity of sPD-L1 proteins, and associated functional/cellular plurality, should be kept in mind when considering sPD-L1 as a biomarker or as a drug target. The membrane, exosomal and soluble forms of PD-L1 are all integral parts of the highly dynamic PD-1/PD-L1 signaling pathway, essential for immune-tolerance or immune-escape.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy has yielded unprecedented outcomes in some patients with hematological malignancies; however, inhibition by the tumor microenvironment has prevented the broader success of CART cell therapy. We used chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) as a model to investigate the interactions between the tumor microenvironment and CART cells. CLL is characterized by an immunosuppressive microenvironment, an abundance of systemic extracellular vesicles (EVs), and a relatively lower durable response rate to CART cell therapy. In this study, we characterized plasma EVs from untreated CLL patients and identified their leukemic cell origin. CLL-derived EVs were able to induce a state of CART cell dysfunction characterized by phenotypical, functional, and transcriptional changes of exhaustion. We demonstrate that, specifically, PD-L1+ CLL-derived EVs induce CART cell exhaustion. In conclusion, we identify an important mechanism of CART cell exhaustion induced by EVs from CLL patients.

Abstract
Immune checkpoints are essential for the regulation of immune cell functions. Although the abrogation of immunosurveillance of tumor cells is known, the regulators of immune checkpoints are not clear. Lipid metabolism is one of the important metabolic activities in organisms. In lipid metabolism, a large number of metabolites produced can regulate the gene expression and activation of immune checkpoints through various pathways. In addition, increasing evidence has shown that lipid metabolism leads to transient generation or accumulation of toxic lipids that result in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and then regulate the transcriptional and posttranscriptional modifications of immune checkpoints, including transcription, protein folding, phosphorylation, palmitoylation, etc. More importantly, the lipid metabolism can also affect exosome transportation of checkpoints and the degradation of checkpoints by affecting ubiquitination and lysosomal trafficking. In this chapter, we mainly empathize on the roles of lipid metabolism in the regulation of immune checkpoints, such as gene expression, activation, and degradation.
