Hepatic Stellate Cells Activated by Cancer Cell-derived AMIGO2-containing Small Extracellular Vesicles Promote Cancer Cell Migration by Producing IL-8
AMIGO2-containing sEVs derived from GC cells actively modify the hepatic microenvironment by activating HSCs and inducing IL-8 secretion, which promotes GC cell migration into the liver parenchyma. This process contributes to the formation of a pre-metastatic niche, highlighting AMIGO2-containing sEVs as potential therapeutic targets for preventing liver metastasis.
