The lack of effective in vitro peritoneal models has hindered the exploration of the potential mechanisms behind gastric cancer’s peritoneal metastasis. An accumulating body of research indicates that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an indispensable role in peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer cells. In this study, a biomimetic peritoneum was constructed. The biomimetic model is similar to real peritoneum in internal microstructure, composition, and primary function, and it enables the recurrence of peritoneal metastasis process in vitro. Based on this model, the association between the mechanical properties ofsEVs and the invasiveness of gastric cancer was identified. By performing nanomechanical  \nanalysis on sEVs, we found that the Young’s modulus of sEVs can be utilized to differentiate between malignant clinical samples (ascites) and nonmalignant clinical samples (peritoneal lavage). Furthermore, patients’ ascites-derived sEVs were verified to stimulate the mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, thereby promoting peritoneal metastasis. In summary, nanomechanical analysis of living sEVs could be utilized for the noninvasive diagnosis of malignant degree and peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer. This finding is expected to contribute future treatments.  \nKEYWORDS: sEVs, biomimetic peritoneum, peritoneal metastasis, gastric cancer, mesothelial-to-mesenchymal transition, nanomechanical analysis  \n1. INTRODUCTION  \nAs one of the most prevalent malignant tumors, the end stage of gastric cancer (GC) is peritoneal metastasis, which is the major cause of death in patients.1 Therefore, there is an urgent need to explore the mechanisms of peritoneal metastasis. Until now, several studies have shown that peritoneal metastasis of GC is associated with changes in the peritoneal microenvironment.2 The British surgeon Stephen Paget revealed that the transfer of malignant tumors is not a random event but rather is determined by interactions between metastatic cancer cells (“seeds”) and the microenvironment of specific organs (“soil”).3 Therefore, it is of great significance to explore microenvironmental changes during the occurrence and development of peritoneal metastasis.  \nAn appropriate in vitro peritoneal model is needed to explore the underlying mechanism of peritoneal metastasis in GC,  \nsince animal models do not grant the ability to continuously monitor the process of metastasis. Some researchers have preliminarily explored the construction of biomimetic peritoneum models. Kenny et al. mixed fibroblasts with extracellular matrix (ECM) and covered them with a layer of mesothelial cells to form a bionic peritoneum.4,5 Asano et al. accumulated fibroblasts and mesothelial cells to simulate the peritoneum.6 Furthermore, De Jaeghere et al. and Herbert et al. each reported a hybrid hydrogel scaffold, which was suitable  \n\n| Received: March 11, 2023\u003Cbr>Revised: February 3, 2024\u003Cbr>Accepted: February 8, 2024\u003Cbr>Published: February 13, 2024 | |\n| --- | --- |\n\n© 2024 The Authors.
