Previous studies have shown that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress serves an important role in shaping the immunosuppressive microenvironment by modulating resident immune cells. However, the communication between ER-stressed tumor cells and immune cells is not fully understood. Exosomes have been reported to play a vital role in intercellular communication. Therefore, in order to investigate the role of ER stress-related exosomes in liver cancer cells mediated macrophage function remodeling, immunohistochemical analysis, western-blotting immunofluorescence and cytokine bead array analyses were performed. The results demonstrated that glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78) expression was upregulated in human liver cancer tissue. Moreover, 69.09% of GRP78-positive liver cancer tissues possessed macrophages expressing CD68(+)(r=0.55; P
