Table 1 Influence of survivin on clinical prognosis

Figure 1 Exosomes play important roles in intercellular communication.

Notes: A tumor cell communicates with the tumor microenvironment and may be able to affect cancer cell aggressiveness as a result of the protein, RNA, and/or microRNA payload found within. One potentially important protein to the proliferative, invasive, or therapy-resistant nature of the tumor is survivin, which has been found released from cancer cells in exosomes.

Figure 2 Splicing of the human survivin premessenger RNA produces six different splice variants.

Notes: With the exception of survivin-3α and survivin-2B, survivin-WT, survivin-ΔEx3, survivin-3B, and survivin-2α are all associated with unfavorable antiapoptotic phenotypes. Survivin-2B has been shown to have either a favorable or unfavorable association, depending upon the cancer type it is expressed in, and survivin-3α has yet to be determined.
Abbreviations: WT, wild type; UTR, untranslated region.
