Preclinical In Vitro Evaluation of Extracellular Vesicles from Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells for the Safe and Selective Modulation of Anaplastic Thyroid Carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly aggressive malignancy with poor prognosis and limited treatment options. Precision oncology seeks personalized therapies that selectively modulate tumor behavior, which is critical for improving patient outcomes. In this study, we evaluated the therapeutic potential of human dental pulp stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (hDPSC-EVs) in three ATC cell lines (8505C, HTH83, KTC-2). Fluorescence and confocal microscopy confirmed the efficient, time-dependent internalization of hDPSC-EVs by ATC cells, with increased fluorescence intensity over 48 h. Functional assays revealed the selective inhibition of migration and invasion in a cell line-dependent manner, without affecting cell proliferation, viability, or tumorigenic traits, indicating a
