22、mes To rapidly and efficiently extract exosomes secreted by tumor cells,different methods were explored 31-34.Among them,sequential ultracentrifugation is the method of choice to isolate exosomes from culture supernatant of HCC cells in a consistent manner.The RNA expression profile of exosomes deri

24、NA U43 28.The expression of 11 miRNAs(miR-584,miR-517c,miR-378,miR-520f,miR-142-5p,miR-451,miR-518d,miR-215,miR-376a,miR-133b and miR-367)was specifically detected in Hep3B-derived exosomes,indicating selective enrichment of a specific set of miRNAs in HCC-derived exosomes 28.Similarly,a total of 20

25、 miRNAs were detected exclusively in PLC/PRF/5-derived exosomes.There was a moderate correlation between the findings in both cell lines,indicating the existence of a sorting mechanism that guides HCC cells to secrete specific intracellular miRNAs into exosomes.The incubation of HCC cells with a neu

27、miR-451)were also found to preferentially enter exosomes in many other cell types 36.HCC-derived exosomes mediated miRNA transfer is an important mechanism of environmental modulation of HCC growth and progress 28.While being taken up and internalized,HCC-derived exosomes transfer their miRNAs conte

29、genes identified that the transforming growth factor-activated kinase-1(TAK1)pathway might be a very likely candidate pathway targeted by these miRNAs 28.TAK1 has been extensively associated with the activation of signaling cascades mediated by interleukin(IL)-1,tumor necrosis factor(TNF-)and transf

47、 miRNA,is usually down-regulated in HCC cells compared with that in normal hepatocytes surrounding the tumor 45.Transfer of exosomal miR-122 from healthy hepatocytes inhibits tumor progression.However,this method for the maintainance of homeostasis cannot be kept for a long time.T-ICs subsequently r
