They are readily apparent in physiological fluids due to release by breast cancer cells or breast cancer-tumor microenvironment (TME) cells. In light of this, numerous biological and functional facets of human tumours, such as breast cancer, are intimately associated with exosomal noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs), containing miRNAs (microRNAs), lncRNAs (long noncoding RNAs), and circRNAs (circular RNAs). Exosomal ncRNAs serve a critical role in various steps of breast cancer development, enabling the exchange of genetic information between cancer cells and other cells (e.g., immune cells), thus regulating tumour angiogenesis, growth, metastasis, immune responses and drug resistance. They interact with multiple regulatory complexes with dissimilar enzymatic actions, which, in turn, modify the chromatin sceneries, including nucleosome modifications, DNA methylation, and histone modifications.
