Abstract

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) residing at tumor tissues are valuable specimens for biopsy. Tumor heterogeneity is common across all Cancer types, but the heterogeneity of tumor tissue-derived sEVs (Ti-sEVs) is undefined. This study aims to discover the spatial distributions of Ti-sEVs in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) tissues and explore how these vesicle distributions affect the patients' prognosis. Multi-regional sampling enabled us to uncover that Ti-sEVs' accumulation at peritumoral sites correlates with a higher disease-free survival rate, and conversely, sparse peritumoral Ti-sEVs tend to forecast a higher risk of relapse. Of those relapsed patients, Ti-sEVs strongly bind to extracellular matrix and subsequently degrade it for allowing themselves enter the bloodstream rather than staying in situ. In advanced OSCC patients, the quantity and spatial distribution of Ti-sEVs prior to anti-PD-1 treatment, as well as the temporal variance of Ti-sEVs before and after immunotherapy, strongly map the clinical response and can help to distinguish the patients with shrinking tumors from those with growing tumors. Our work elucidates the correlation of spatiotemporal features of Ti-sEVs with patients' therapeutic outcomes and exhibit the potential for using Ti-sEVs as a predictor to forecast prognosis and screen the responders to anti-PD-1 therapy.
