The role of exosomes on colorectal cancer: A review. J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2018 Apr;33(4):792-799.http://hdl.handle.net/10668/11820Exosomes are extracellular microvesicles released from cells, which are involved in many biological and pathological processes, mainly because of their role in intercellular communication. Exosomes derived from colorectal cancer (CRC) cells are related to oncogenesis, tumor cell survival, chemo-resistance, and metastasis. The role of the exosomes in these processes involves the transfer of proteins, RNAs, or mutant versions of proto-oncogenes to the target cells. In recent years, great efforts have been made to identify useful biomarkers in CRC exosomes for diagnosis, prediction of prognosis, and treatment response. This review focuses on recent studies on CRC exosomes, considering isolation, cargo, biomarkers, and the effects of exosomes on the development and progression of CRC, including resistance to antitumor therapy.enbiomarkerscolorectal cancerexosomesintercellular communicationoncogenic transformationBiomarkers, TumorCarcinogenesisColorectal NeoplasmsDisease ProgressionDrug Resistance, NeoplasmExosomesHumansMutationNeoplasm ProteinsPrognosisProtein TransportProto-OncogenesRNA, Neoplasmresearch article29156509Restricted AccessARN neoplásicoBiomarcadores de tumorcarcinogénesisExosomasMutaciónNeoplasias colorrectalesProgresión de la enfermedadPronósticoProteínas de neoplasiasProto-oncogenesResistencia a antineoplásicosTransporte de proteínas10.1111/jgh.140491440-1746https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1111/jgh.14049
