Schematic diagram of the potential roles of exosomal MIF in glioma TMZ resistance

The TR cells-secreted exosomes containing MIF can be taken up by the TS cells. Exosomal MIF suppresses apoptosis by downregulating TIMP3 and activating PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, resulting in enhanced cell proliferation, suppressed cell apoptosis, and promoted TMZ resistance of the recipient TS cells.
