AnxA2 emerges as a regulator of the protein composition of TNBC-derived EVs, enhancing EV-mediated interactions with lung fibroblasts and modulating fibroblast motility and activation, linking tumor cell protein expression to stromal remodeling in the lung microenvironment. This work establishes a framework suggestive of an EV cargo-driven mechanism through which EVs derived from AnxA2-expressing cells may influence lung-specific metastatic colonization in TNBC and highlights the importance of evaluating EV-mediated communication in cancer progression.
