Effect of hypoxia on extracellular vesicles in malignant and non-malignant conditions

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by virtually all types of cells and can be detected in nearly all extracellular places. These particles mediate intercellular communication and transfer their cargo to the recipient cells, inducing a variety of processes in these cells through transmission o...

description Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced by virtually all types of cells and can be detected in nearly all extracellular places. These particles mediate intercellular communication and transfer their cargo to the recipient cells, inducing a variety of processes in these cells through transmission of several biomolecules such as miRNAs, lncRNAs, other transcripts and a variety of proteins. It has been documented that size, quantity, and expression of biomolecules in the EVs are influenced by the level of oxygen. In fact, hypoxia can affect several cellular processes through modulation of the cargo of these vesicles. Hypoxic exosomes derived from tumor cells have several protumoral effects on the recipient cells, including enhancement of proliferation, migration, and invasion in other tumoral cells, induction of metastasis in distant organs, stimulation of angiogenesis in the endothelial cells, and modulation of macrophage polarization. Hypoxic EVs also contribute to several non-malignant diseases. This review summarizes the effect of hypoxia on EVs cargo in malignant and nonmalignant diseases of different organs.
