Abstract
This study investigates a novel approach to overcome Vemurafenib resistance in BRAF-mutant Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) using CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing and TMTP1-modified extracellular vesicles (TMTP1-sgBRAF-EVs). By knocking out the BRAF gene, the study elucidates Vemurafenib-induced ferroptosis mechanisms involving lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in ATC cells. The developed TMTP1-sgBRAF-EVs system demonstrates superior tumour-targeting and drug delivery capabilities, significantly enhancing Vemurafenib efficacy in both in vitro and in vivo models. This innovative combination of gene editing technology with a nanoparticle delivery system shows promising potential as a therapeutic strategy for treating aggressive BRAF-mutant ATC.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Extracellular Vesicles is an open access research publication that focuses on extracellular vesicles, including microvesicles, exosomes, ectosomes, and apoptotic bodies. It serves as the official journal of the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles and aims to facilitate the exchange of data, ideas, and information pertaining to the chemistry, biology, and applications of extracellular vesicles. The journal covers various aspects such as the cellular and molecular mechanisms of extracellular vesicles biogenesis, technological advancements in their isolation, quantification, and characterization, the role and function of extracellular vesicles in biology, stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles and their biology, as well as the application of extracellular vesicles for pharmacological, immunological, or genetic therapies.
The Journal of Extracellular Vesicles is widely recognized and indexed by numerous services, including Biological Abstracts, BIOSIS Previews, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Current Contents/Life Sciences, Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Journal Citation Reports/Science Edition, Google Scholar, ProQuest Natural Science Collection, ProQuest SciTech Collection, SciTech Premium Collection, PubMed Central/PubMed, Science Citation Index Expanded, ScienceOpen, and Scopus.
