Fig. 4From: The application of extracellular vesicles in colorectal cancer metastasis and drug resistance: recent advances and trendsEVs regulate metastasis and drug resistance in CRC. Molecular signaling pathways of metastasis and drug resistance, including PI3K, Akt, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), STAT3, programmed cell death 4 (PDCD4), Wnt, β-catenin, and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), are regulated by EVs. Induction of metastasis and drug resistance promotes CRC progression, and targeting EVs may impair CRC growthBack to article page
