Hepatocellular Carcinoma Cell-Secreted Exosomal MicroRNA-210 Promotes Angiogenesis In Vitro and In Vivo.

ABSTRACT: We previously found that 19 microRNAs (miRNAs) significantly increased in the sera of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. Here, we evaluated whether these miRNAs were secreted by HCC cells and contributed to tumor angiogenesis. High level of miR-210-3p (miR-210) was detected in the exosomes isolated from the sera of HCC patients and the conditioned media of hepatoma cells. Higher miR-210 level in serum was correlated with higher microvessel density in HCC tissues. Moreover, the HCC cell-secreted exosomes promoted in vitro tubulogenesis of endothelial cells, which was strengthened by overexpressing miR-210 in HCC cells but was attenuated by repressing miR-210 or DROSHA in HCC cells. This pro-tubulogenesis effect by HCC exosomes was also abrogated by antagonizing miR-210 in endothelial cells. Subsequent in vivo studies revealed that Matrigel plug and subcutaneous tumor xenografts treated with HCC cell-derived exosomal miR-210 displayed much more vessels. Furthermore, exosomal miR-210 could be delivered into endothelial cells and directly inhibited the expression of SMAD4 and STAT6, resulting in enhanced angiogenesis. Collectively, HCC cell-secreted exosomal miR-210 may be transferred into endothelial cells and thereby promotes tumor angiogenesis by targeting SMAD4 and STAT6. Our findings identify a novel mechanism of HCC angiogenesis and highlight the biological importance of exosomal miR-210.

Project description:Background: By providing oxygen, nutrients and metastatic conduits, tumour angiogenesis is essential for cancer metastasis. Cancer cell-secreted microRNAs can be packaged into exosomes and are implicated in different aspects of tumour angiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Methods: The GEPIA database and in situ hybridization assay were used to analyse expression of miR-205 in ovarian tissues. Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the relationship between miR-205 and microvessel density. Expression of circulating miR-205 was evaluated by RT-PCR and GEO database analysis. Co-culture and exosome labelling experiments were performed to assess exosomal miR-205 transfer from ovarian cancer (OC) cells to endothelial cells ECs. Exosome uptake assays were employed to define the cellular pathways associated with the endocytic uptake of exosomal miR-205. The role of exosomal miR-205 in angiogenesis was further investigated in vivo and in vitro. Western blotting and rescue experiments were applied to detect regulation of the PTEN-AKT pathway by exosomal miR-205 in ECs. Results: miR-205 was up-regulated in OC tissues, and high expression of miR-205 was associated with metastatic progression in OC patients. Moreover, miR-205 was highly enriched in cancer-adjacent ECs, and up-regulation of miR-205 correlated positively with high microvessel density in OC patients. Importantly, miR-205 was markedly enriched in the serum of OC patients, and a high level of miR-205 in circulating exosomes was associated with OC metastasis. In addition, OC-derived miR-205 was secreted into the extracellular space and efficiently transferred to adjacent ECs in an exosome-dependent manner, and the lipid raft-associated pathway plays an important role in regulating uptake of exosomal miR-205. Exosomal miR-205 from OC cells significantly promoted in vitro angiogenesis and accelerated angiogenesis and tumour growth in a mouse model. Furthermore, we found that exosomal miR-205 induces angiogenesis via the PTEN-AKT pathway. Conclusion: These findings demonstrate an exosome-dependent mechanism by which miR-205 derived from cancer cells regulates tumour angiogenesis and implicate exosomal miR-205 as a potential therapeutic target for OC.
