Exosomes play a role in the pathogenesis and treatment of malignancies as a double-edged sword. Recently, researchers discussed about two new roles, cardiomyocyte function impairment and cardiovascular disease (CVD) genesis. Data were collected from PUBMED at various time points up to the 2019 academic year. The related key words are listed as following; "Arsenic trioxide", "acute promyelocytic leukemia" and "cardio toxicity" and "molecular pathway" and "biomarker". This study has shown that exosomes secreted substances stimulate angiogenesis and cardiomyocytes repairment; cited process depended on the kinds of released substances. Generally, exosomes may involve in the pathogenesis of CVD; although CVD can prevented by identifying the pathways that induce angiogenesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
