Article Abstract

Small membranes known as exosomes surround them and are released by several cell types both in vitro and in vivo. These membranes are packed with a variety of biomolecules, including proteins, lipids, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), ribonucleic acid (RNA), and non-coding RNA (ncRNA). As a source of biological nanomaterials, exosomes play a role in information and substance transmission between cells and have been identified as a general method of facilitating communication during interactions between the body, target organs, and toxins.. In order to understand the changes and mechanism of the composition and level of exosomes after biotoxin infection, this review focuses on current findings on the exosomes and highlights their novel uses in the toxicity mechanism. Exosomes are mainly used as a delivery carrier or mediated by receptors, and play an immune role after the toxin enters the body. This review expounds on the importance of exosomes in the toxicological mechanism of biotoxins and provides new insights for further diagnosis of toxic biomarkers, detoxification, and treatment development.

Integrins from extracellular vesicles as players in tumor microenvironment and metastasis.

Cancer Metastasis Rev

September 2025

Institute for Integrative Biology of the Cell (I2BC), Université Paris-Saclay, CEA, CNRS, Gif-Sur-Yvette, 91198, France.

Integrins constitute a large and diverse family of cell adhesion molecules that play essential roles in regulating tumor cell differentiation, migration, proliferation, and neovascularization. Tumor cell-derived exosomes, a subtype of extracellular vesicles, are enriched with integrins that reflect their cells of origin. These exosomal integrins can promote extracellular matrix remodeling, immune suppression, and vascular remodeling and are closely linked to tumor progression and metastasis, acting as pivotal players in mediating organ-specific metastasis.

X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) in mammals is orchestrated by the noncoding RNA X-inactive-specific transcript (Xist) that, together with specific interacting proteins, functions in cis to silence an entire X chromosome. Defined sites on Xist RNA carry the N-methyladenosine (mA) modification and perturbation of the mA writer complex has been found to abrogate Xist-mediated gene silencing. However, the relative contribution of mA and its mechanism of action remain unclear.

Single-cell surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) has emerged as a powerful tool for precision medicine owing to its label-free detection, ultrasensitivity, and unique molecular fingerprinting. Unlike conventional bulk analysis, it enables detailed characterization of cellular heterogeneity, with particular promise in circulating tumor cell (CTC) identification, tumor microenvironment (TME) metabolic profiling, subcellular imaging, and drug sensitivity assessment. Coupled with microfluidic droplet systems, SERS supports high-throughput single-cell analysis and multiparametric screening, while integration with complementary modalities such as fluorescence microscopy and mass spectrometry enhances temporal and spatial resolution for monitoring live cells.

Silencing CD151 Gene in Donor Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cells Attenuates Exosome-Driven Functions of Recipient Cells.

Exp Cell Res

September 2025

Cancer Biology Laboratory, Dept of Life Sciences, GITAM School of Sciences, GITAM (Deemed to be University), Visakhapatnam-530045, Andhra Pradesh, India. Electronic address:

CD151 is a tetraspanin, abnormally expressed in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). It is a prominent component of exosomes, facilitating the secretion of proteins that promote metastasis and drug resistance. We have previously demonstrated that silencing the CD151 gene reduces metastasis in TNBC.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of end-stage renal disease, with podocyte injury representing an early pathogenic event. Conventional biomarkers such as albuminuria and eGFR identify renal damage only at advanced stages, limiting opportunities for timely intervention. Wilms' Tumor 1 (WT1), a podocyte-specific transcription factor, has emerged as a sensitive marker of early glomerular stress.
