Abstract
Exosomes are a heterogeneous subset of extracellular vesicles (EVs) that biogenesis from endosomes. Besides, exosomes contain a variety of molecular cargoes including proteins, lipids and nucleic acids, which play a key role in the mechanism of exosome formation. Meanwhile, exosomes are involved with physiological and pathological conditions. The molecular profile of exosomes reflects the type and pathophysiological status of the originating cells so could potentially be exploited for diagnostic of cancer. This review aims to describe important molecular cargoes involved in exosome biogenesis. In addition, we highlight exogenous factors, especially autophagy, hypoxia and pharmacology, that regulate the release of exosomes and their corresponding cargoes. Particularly, we also emphasize exosome molecular cargoes as potential biomarkers in liquid biopsy for diagnosis of cancer.

Abstract
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer with poor prognosis. The incidences of HCC and HCC-related deaths have increased over the last several decades. However, the treatment options for advanced HCC are very limited. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) wrapped in exosomes can change the expression of their target genes in recipient cells, thereby regulating the behavior of recipient cells. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that there is a correlation between the activation of exosomal lncRNAs and the development of HCC. In this review article, we highlighted the functions of exosomal lncRNAs in the development of HCC, showing that exosomal lncRNAs play a vital role in the growth and progression of HCC and are targets for HCC.

Protective effects of all-trans retinoic acid against gastric premalignant lesions by repressing exosomal LncHOXA10-pyruvate carboxylase axis. J Cancer Res Clin Oncol 2021; 148:121-135.

Abstract
PURPOSE Long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) play a pivotal role in gastric tumorigenesis, while exosomes facilitate the LncRNAs transferring to recipient cells. However, the roles of exosomal LncRNAs in gastric premalignant lesions (GPL) remain unclear. METHODS We analyzed the expression of LncHOXA10 and its role in GPL progression. The protective effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on GPL was explored in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS Here, we found that LncHOXA10 expression was obviously increased in serum exosomes and gastric tissues from individuals with GPL, and exosomal LncHOXA10 from patients with GPL markedly promoted the malignant progression of human gastric epithelial cell line GES-1. Furthermore, RNA-pulldown assay revealed that LncHOXA10 mainly interacted with pyruvate carboxylase (PC), an essential enzyme in various cellular metabolic pathways. In gastric tissues from patients with GPL and gastric cancer (GC), PC was also upregulated and positively correlated with LncHOXA10 expression, which predicted a poor prognosis as well. Moreover, PC silencing attenuated the malignant effects of exosomal LncHOXA10 on GES-1 cells. ATRA also ameliorated the deterioration of GPL and prevented the malignant progression of GPL by reducing exosomal LncHOXA10 and PC expression. CONCLUSIONS Collectively, the LncHOXA10-PC axis participated in the early stage of GC tumorigenesis, and ATRA might be useful to prevent GPL from developing into GC because it targets this axis.

Abstract
Numerous long noncoding RNAs (LncRNAs) were having recently been shown to be involved in cancer development, including gastric cancer (GC). However, the precise mechanism and treatments to target these molecules have rarely been studied. Thus, we aimed to investigate the function of LncHOXA10 in gastric tumorigenesis and targeted therapy. First, we measured the differences in LncHOXA10 and retinoic acid receptor β (RAR-β) levels in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines compared with those in noncancerous tissues and cell lines. We observed that LncHOXA10 was significantly upregulated in gastric cancer tissues and cell lines, whereas RAR-β showed the opposite trend. Subsequently, loss and gain of LncHOXA10 cell lines were constructed to determine whether LncHOXA10 plays a role in gastric tumorigenesis. The results showed that LncHOXA10 promoted the proliferation, migration, and invasion of cells, whereas apoptosis was markedly inhibited. Subsequently, mechanistic investigations revealed that LncHOXA10 can repress RAR-β expression and that all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) can rescue the expression of RAR-β. Finally, we showed that ATRA can reverse the pro-cancerous function of LncHOXA10. We showed that LncHOXA10 may be a prognostic and therapeutic factor of gastric cancer by negatively regulating RAR-β. Furthermore, ATRA can inhibit the role of LncHOXA10 in gastric tumorigenesis.
