: Diabetes and breast cancer are pathophysiologically similar and clinically established diseases that co-exist with a wider complex similar molecular signalling and having similar set of risk factors. Insulin plays a pivotal role for invasion and migration of breast cancer cells. Several ethnopharmacological evidences light the concomitant anti-diabetic and anti-cancer activity of medicinal plant and phytochemicals against breast tumor of patients with diabetes. This present article reviewed the findings on medicinal plants and phytochemicals with concomitant anti-diabetic and anti-cancer effects reported in scientific literature to facilitate the development of dual-acting therapies against diabetes and breast cancer. The schematic tabular form of published literatures on medicinal plants (63 plants belongs to 45 families) concluded the dynamics of phytochemicals against diabetes and breast tumor that could be explored further for the discovery of therapies for controlling of breast cancer cell invasion and migration in patient with diabetes.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key step in tumor invasion and distant metastasis. Abundant evidence has documented that exosomes can mediate EMT of tumor cells and endow them with the ability of invasion and migration. However, there are few studies focusing on whether EMT can reverse the secretion of exosomes. In this study, 2 esophageal cancer cells (FLO-1 and SK-GT-4) were selected to compare the migration ability and EMT activation, and to further analyze the secretion ability of exosomes of the 2 cell lines. According to the results, inhibited activation of EMT in FLO-1 cells with relatively high migration ability could effectively reduce the secretion of exosomes. Besides, in SK-GT-4 cells, EMT activation induced by TGF-β could promote the secretion of exosomes. FLO-1 cell derived exosomes exhibited a paracrine effect of promoting the migration of SK-GT-4 cells, and the use of EMT inhibitors could weaken this ability. Furthermore, inhibition of EMT could change the relative content of some miRNAs in exosomes, with a particularly significant downregulation in the expression of miR-196-5p, miR-21-5p and miR-194-5p. Significantly, artificial transfection of the 3 miRNAs into exosomes by electroporation resulted in the recovery of migration-promoting effect of exosomes. Subsequent experiments further revealed that the effect of EMT on these miRNAs could be explained by the intracellular transcription level or the specific sorting mechanism of exosomes. To sum up, our study undoubtedly reveals that EMT has a regulatory effect on exosomes in the quantity and contents in esophageal cancer cells. Significantly, findings in our study provide experimental evidence for the interaction of EMT with the secretion and sorting pathway of exosomes, and also give a new direction for the further study of tumor metastasis.
