With their nano-sized structure, exosomes are involved in a wide variety of cellular processes such as genetic information flow, immune system modulations, intercellular communication, and pathophysiological changes. The use of exosomes are exponentially growing particularly in the areas of identification of biomarkers, development of nanocarriers for effective drug delivery, and vaccine production. In recent years, edible plant derived exosomes gained much interest with their strong antimicrobial activities, modulatory activities on the intestinal stem cells, and the anticancer activities. In this study, the cytotoxic effects of fig, lemon, olive and turnip derived exosomes were investigated through the neutral red uptake assay. It was observed that 100 µg/mL protein containing lemon and turnip derived exosomes inhibited the cell proliferation significantly, on the other hand, fig and olive derived exosomes did not alter the proliferation of MCF-7 cells. Since the results for the cytotoxic activity of turnip exosomes are original in this research, it was found worthy to emphasis the utility of turnip exosomes for the development of new anticancer agents or new drug delivery nanocarriers.
