Abstract:
The intricate interactions between immune cells and tumors exert a profound influence on cancer progression and therapeutic efficacy. Within the tumor microenvironment, exosomes have emerged as pivotal mediators of intercellular communication, with their cargo of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) serving as key regulatory elements. This review examines the multifaceted roles of immune cell-derived exosomal ncRNAs in tumor biology. The involvement of various immune cells, including T cells, B cells, natural killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells, in utilizing exosomal ncRNAs to regulate tumor initiation and progression is explored. Additionally, the biogenesis and delivery mechanisms of these immune cell-derived exosomal ncRNAs are discussed, alongside their potential clinical applications in cancer.
