Fig. 8From: Extracellular vesicles-derived microRNA-222 promotes immune escape via interacting with ATF3 to regulate AKT1 transcription in colorectal cancerMechanistic scheme depicting immune escape of CRC cells via MSC-EVs (Adobe Illustrator CS6, Adobe, San Jose, CA, USA). Secretion of MSC-EVs into CRC cells increased the expression of miR-222 in the cells. miR-222 targeted ATF3 to inhibit its activity, which led to the activation of ATF3-regulated AKT pathway and a subsequent increase in CRC cell malignant phenotype and immune escapeBack to article page
