BACKGROUND

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) represents the most frequent leukemia in adults. Despite recent advances in treatments, CLL remains a deadly uncurable disease. This cancer is caracterized by an accumulation of abnormal, apoptosis resistant, B lymphocytes in the blood and lymphoid organs of the patients. CLL progression is highly dependent on complex interactions between tumor cells and their microenvironment. We have previously demonstrated that small extracellular vesicles (sEV) are key players in CLL by promoting the formation of cancer-associated fibroblasts and PD-L1+ monocytes. Importantly we showed that sEVs are indispensable for leukemogenesis in vivo by impairing T-cell mediated anti-tumor immunity.
