Synergistic inhibition of NUDT21 by secretory S100A11 and exosomal miR-487a-5p promotes melanoma oligo- to poly-metastatic progression.

ABSTRACT: Although early diagnosis and therapeutic advances have transformed the living quality and outcome of cancer patients, the poor prognosis for metastatic patients has not been significantly improved. Mechanisms underlying the complexity of metastasis cannot be simply determined by the straightforward 'cause-and-effect relationships'. We have developed a 'dry-lab-driven knowledge discovery and wet-lab validation' approach to embrace the complexity of cancer and metastasis. We have revealed for the first time that polymetastatic (POL) melanoma cells can utilize both the secretory protein pathway (S100A11-Sec23a) and the exosomal crosstalk (miR-487a-5p) to transfer their 'polymetastatic competency' to the oligometastatic (OL) melanoma cells, via synergistic co-targeting of the tumor-suppressor Nudt21. The downstream deregulated glycolysis was verified to regulate metastatic colonization efficiency. Further, two gene sets conferring independent prognosis in melanoma were identified, which have the potential for clinical translation and merit future clinical validation.

Project description:BackgroundCancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) have been widely reported to promote tumor angiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms of the proangiogenic switch of CAFs remain poorly understood. This study aims to clarify the mechanisms underlying the proangiogenic switch of CAFs.MethodsNIH/3T3 cells were treated with B16 and B16F10-derived exosomes. Then the CAFs markers and proangiogenic factors were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot. CCK-8 assay, transwell migration assay, tube formation assay, and in vivo Matrigel plug assay were conducted to determine the proangiogenic capability of CAFs. Western blot and AG490 were used to investigate the role of Janus kinase 2/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway in the proangiogenic switch of CAFs. Bioinformatics analysis, luciferase reporter assay, microRNA mimic and inhibitor, and xenograft models were used to investigate the role of mmu-miR-155-5p (miR-155) in the proangiogenic switch of CAFs.ResultsIn this study, we show that melanoma cell-secreted exosomes can induce reprogramming of fibroblasts into CAFs and that exosomal miR-155 can trigger the proangiogenic switch of CAFs. Mechanistically exosomal miR-155 can be delivered into fibroblasts and promote the expression of proangiogenic factors, including vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFa), fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2), and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), by directly targeting suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1). Downregulation of SOCS1 activates JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway and elevates the expression levels of VEGFa, FGF2, and MMP9 in fibroblasts. Treatment with exosomes containing overexpressed miR-155 can promote angiogenesis, and the reduction of miR-155 in melanoma cell-secreted exosomes alleviates angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo.ConclusionsThese results demonstrate that by promoting the expression of proangiogenic factors in recipient fibroblasts via SOCS1/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, melanoma cell-secreted exosomal miR-155 can induce the proangiogenic switch of CAFs. Although tumor angiogenesis is modulated by various factors, exosomal miR-155 may be a potential target for controlling melanoma angiogenesis and used to set up novel strategies to treat melanoma.
