Abstract:

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles that play an important role in intercellular communication and are widely present in human body fluids. Exosomes exert biological effects by carrying various active substances, such as proteins, mRNA, microRNA, and DNA. For example, those secreted by oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) can affect the tumor microenvironment and promote the development of tumors by activating various signal pathways. Therefore, these vesicles provide a new treatment strategy for assisting the early diagnosis and prognosis of OSCC. Owing to their unique interaction in the tumor microenvironment, exosomes and their modified products can be used as effective carriers of genes and drugs for targeted OSCC therapy. This article reviews the production of exosomes, their role in OSCC, and the clinical diagnosis and treatment of exosomes in OSCC.

Key words: exosome, oral squamous cell carcinoma, targeted therapy
