Elevated extracellular matrix protein 1 in circulating extracellular vesicles supports breast cancer progression under obesity conditions

Abstract The cargo content in small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) changes under pathological conditions. Our data shows that in obesity, extracellular matrix protein 1 (ECM1) protein levels are significantly increased in circulating sEVs, which is dependent on integrin-β2. Knockdown of integrin-β2 d...
