    Abstract
    Ovarian cancer is the fifth most deadly cancer among women in the United States and the most lethal gynecological malignancy in the world. Recent studies reveal that human tumor cells release cell-secreted vesicles called exosomes. Exosomes are endosome-derived vesicles containing bioactive materials, including RNAs and miRNAs that can be detected in body fluids. Importantly, pluripotency factor LIN28, a regulator of let-7 miRNAs, is present in ovarian cancer cells. High LIN28A and low let-7 miRNA levels are associated with aggressive IGROV1 human ovarian cancer cells (Piskounova et al., 2011) ...
