Macrophage-inherited exosome excise tumor immunosuppression to expedite immune-activated ferroptosis by Yan Liu, Junjie Liu, Qin Wang, Kun Zhang, Chunyan Zhu, Duo Wang, Guanhua Qiu, Xiaoqi Zhu, Chao Fang

“…M1 macrophage-derived exosomes can inherit more functions and genetic substances than nanovesicles since nanovesicles inevitably suffer from substance and function loss caused by extrusion-arised structural damage.Results Inspired by it, spontaneous homing to tumor and M2-like macrophage polarization into M1-like ones are attained, which not only significantly magnify oxidative stress but also mitigate ITM including M2-like macrophage polarization and regulatory T cell decrease, and regulate death pathways.Conclusions All these actions accomplish a synergistic antitumor enhancement against tumor progression, thus paving a general route to mitigate ITM, activate immune responses, and magnify ferroptosis.…”
