Major exosome release process in OS. EVs are comprised of various proteins and nucleic acids. These evolutionarily conserved proteins that can be used as biomarkers, like HSP70, CD9, CD63, and CD81. Additionally, exosomal cargos are also involved in transport of multiple biomolecules such as DNA or RNA. EVs that carry genetic materials are utilized in development of treatment for OS through enhancing drug resistance, immune evasion, migration, invasion, and angiogenesis. Source cell-derived exosomal cargos are also carried into recipient cells via blood circulation. Highly invasive OS cells enhance cell migration and invasion through production of exosomes.
