Journal ArticleDOI

Intercellular transfer of the oncogenic receptor EGFRvIII by microvesicles derived from tumour cells

TL;DR: It is shown that EGFRvIII can be 'shared' between glioma cells by intercellular transfer of membrane-derived microvesicles ('oncosomes'), which can contribute to a horizontal propagation of oncogenes and their associated transforming phenotype among subsets of cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endothelial expression of autocrine VEGF upon the uptake of tumor-derived microvesicles containing oncogenic EGFR

TL;DR: It is proposed that oncogene-containing tumor cell-derived MVs could act as a unique form of angiogenesis-modulating stimuli and are capable of switching endothelial cells to act in an autocrine mode.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microvesicles as mediators of intercellular communication in cancer—the emerging science of cellular ‘debris’

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms and mediators of MV-based intercellular communication (cancer vesiculome) are explored with the hope of using this information as a possible source of therapeutic targets and disease biomarkers in cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microvesicles: messengers and mediators of tumor progression.

TL;DR: Microvesicles can be retrieved from the circulating blood of cancer patients, and reveal the presence of oncogenes in their tumors, thereby potentially serving as information-rich prognostic and predictive biomarkers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gut commensal microvesicles reproduce parent bacterial signals to host immune and enteric nervous systems

TL;DR: Gut epithelial, but not direct neuronal application of, MVs replicated functional effects of JB‐1 on in situ patch‐clamped enteric neurons, suggesting the importance of epithelium neuron signaling and discrimination between pathways for bacteria‐neuron and ‐immune communication.
