Research Article: Exosome-Delivered EGFR Induced by Acidic Bile Salts Regulates Macrophage M Polarization to Promote Esophageal Adenocarcinoma Cell Proliferation
Introduction:
Esophageal cancer is highly lethal, leading to more than half a million deaths yearly. It has two main histological subtypes: esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Although EAC only accounts for % of EC cases, its survival rate is very low. The incidence has increased rapidly in the past years. Barrett’s esophagus (BE) is one of the main risk factors for EAC, characterized by columnar metaplasia in the distal esophagus, and is a well-established precancerous state of EAC.…
