Cytotoxic chemotherapy is an effective treatment for invasive breast cancer. However, experimental studies in mice also suggest pro-metastatic effects of chemotherapy. Primary tumours release extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, that can facilitate the seeding and growth of metastatic cancer cells in distant organs, but the effects of chemotherapy on tumour-derived EVs remain unclear. Here we show that two classes of cytotoxic drugs broadly employed in pre-operative (neoadjuvant) breast cancer therapy, taxanes and anthracyclines, elicit tumour-derived EVs with enhanced pro-metastatic capacity. Chemotherapy-elicited EVs are enriched in annexin-A6 (ANXA6), Ca2+-dependent protein that promotes NF-kB-dependent endothelial cell activation, Ccl2 induction, and Ly6C+CCR2+ monocyte expansion in the pulmonary pre-metastatic niche to facilitate the establishment of lung metastasis. Genetic inactivation of Anxa6 in cancer cells, or Ccr2 in host cells, blunts the pro-metastatic effects of chemotherapy-elicited EVs. ANXA6 is detected, and potentially nriched, in the circulating EVs of breast cancer patients undergoing neoadjuvant chemotherapy.Citable link to this page
