The significance of exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in the metastasis of colorectal cancer and development of therapy resistance.
Colorectal cancer (CRC) represents a common type of carcinoma with significant mortality rates globally. A primary factor contributing to the unfavorable treatment outcomes and reduced survival rates in CRC patients is the occurrence of metastasis. Various intricate molecular mechanisms are implicated in the metastatic process, leading to mortality among individuals with CRC. In the realm of intercellular communication, exosomes, which are a form of extracellular vesicle (EV), play an essential role. These vesicles act as conduits for information exchange between cells and originate from multiple sources. By fostering a microenvironment conducive to CRC progression, exosomes and EVs significantly influence the advancement of the disease. They contain a diverse array of molecules, including messenger RNAs (mRNAs), non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), proteins, lipids, and transcription factors. Notably, ncRNAs, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and circular RNAs (circRNAs), are prominently featured within exosomes. These ncRNAs have the capacity to regulate various critical molecules or signaling pathways, particularly those associated with tumor metastasis, thereby playing a crucial role in tumorigenesis. Their presence indicates a substantial potential to affect vital aspects of tumor progression, including proliferation, metastasis, and resistance to treatment. This research aims to categorize exosomal ncRNAs and examine their functions in colorectal cancer. Furthermore, it investigates the clinical applicability of novel biomarkers and therapeutic strategies in CRC.

Exosomal ncRNAs in liquid biopsies for lung cancer.
Exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have become essential contributors to advancing and treating lung cancers (LCs). The development of liquid biopsies that utilize exosomal ncRNAs (exo-ncRNAs) offers an encouraging method for diagnosing, predicting, and treating LC. This thorough overview examines the dual function of exo-ncRNAs as both indicators for early diagnosis and avenues for LC treatment. Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by various cells, including cancerous cells, enabling connection between cells by delivering ncRNAs. These ncRNAs, which encompass circular RNAs, long ncRNAs, and microRNAs, participate in the modulation of gene expression and cellular functions. In LC, certain exo-ncRNAs are linked to tumour advancement, spread, and treatment resistance, positioning them as promising non-invasive indicators in liquid biopsies. Additionally, targeting these ncRNAs offers potential for innovative treatment approaches, whether by suppressing harmful ncRNAs or reinstating the activity of tumour-suppressing ones. This review emphasizes recent developments in the extraction and analysis of exo-ncRNAs, their practical applications in LC treatment, and the challenges and prospects for translating these discoveries into clinical usage. Through this detailed examination of the current state of the art, we aim to highlight the significant potential of exo-ncRNAs for LC diagnostics and treatments.

Exosomal noncoding RNA (ncRNA) in breast cancer pathogenesis and therapy; two sides of the same coin.
Over the past few years, breast cancer has become the most prevalent type of cancer globally, with the primary cause of death from the disease being metastatic cancer. This has led to the development of early detection techniques, mainly using non-invasive biomarkers in a range of body fluids. Exosomes are unique extracellular vesicles (EVs) transmitting cellular signals over great distances via various cargo. They are readily apparent in physiological fluids due to release by breast cancer cells or breast cancer-tumor microenvironment (TME) cells. In light of this, numerous biological and functional facets of human tumours, such as breast cancer, are intimately associated with exosomal noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), containing miRNAs (microRNAs), lncRNAs (long noncoding RNAs), and circRNAs (circular RNAs). Exosomal ncRNAs serve a critical role in various steps of breast cancer development, enabling the exchange of genetic information between cancer cells and other cells (e.g., immune cells), thus regulating tumour angiogenesis, growth, metastasis, immune responses and drug resistance. They interact with multiple regulatory complexes with dissimilar enzymatic actions, which, in turn, modify the chromatin sceneries, including nucleosome modifications, DNA methylation, and histone modifications. Herein, we look into the exosomes' underlying regulatory mechanisms in breast cancer. Furthermore, we inspect the existing understanding of the functions of exosomal miRNAs, lncRNAs, and circRNAs in breast cancer to authenticate their possible significance in identifying biomarkers, deciphering their role in immune escape and drug resistance, and finally, analyzing treatment practices.
