Small extracellular vesicles: multi-faceted tools for leukemia immune evasion in vivo
Abstract
Recently, small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) secreted in vivo from chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) preclinical murine models were characterized. Leukemia microenvironment sEV (LME-sEVs) selectively target CD8+ T-cells, inducing exhaustion and hampering anti-tumor immune response. Additionally, a sEV-related gene expression correlated with patient treatment-free survival, overall survival and clinical parameters.
