Exosome-Derived miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p Stimulate Liposarcoma Progression.

ABSTRACT: Despite the development of combined modality treatments against liposarcoma in recent years, a significant proportion of patients respond only modestly to such approaches, possibly contributing to local or distant recurrence. Early detection of recurrent or metastatic disease could improve patient prognosis by triggering earlier clinical intervention. However, useful biomarkers for such purposes are lacking. Using both patient plasma samples and cell lines, we demonstrate here that miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p are secreted by liposarcoma cells through extracellular vesicles and may be useful as potential biomarkers of disease. Both miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p stimulated secretion of proinflammatory cytokine IL6 from tumor-associated macrophages in a TLR7/8-dependent manner, which in turn promoted liposarcoma cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via this interaction with the surrounding microenvironment. Our findings provide novel and previously unreported insight into liposarcoma progression, identifying communication between liposarcoma cells and their microenvironment as a process critically involved in liposarcoma progression. This study establishes the possibility that the pattern of circulating miRNAs may identify recurrence prior to radiological detectability while providing insight into disease outcome and as a possible approach to monitor treatment efficacy.

Project description:BackgroundCircular RNAs (circRNAs) are enriched in exosomes and are extremely stable. Exosome-mediated intercellular transfer of specific biologically active circRNA molecules can drive the transformation of the tumor microenvironment and accelerate or inhibit the local spread and multifocal growth of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we explored in depth about the biological roles of HCC cell-derived exosomes and exosome-transported circRNAs on HCC in vivo and in vitro.MethodsExosomes extracted from HCC cells (Huh7 and HA22T) were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, nanoparticle size tracer analysis, and western blotting. Exosomes were observed for endocytosis using fluorescent labeling. The effects of HCC cell-derived exosomes and the circ_002136 they carried on cell growth, metastasis and apoptosis were determined by CCK-8 assay, transwell assay, flow cytometry analysis and TUNEL staining, respectively. The expressions of circ_002136, miR-19a-3p and RAB1A were detected by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR). Targeted binding between miR-19a-3p and circ_002136 or RAB1A was predicted and verified by bioinformatics analysis, dual-luciferase reporter and RNA pull-down experiments. The in vivo effect of circ_002136 was determined by constructing a xenograft tumor model.ResultsThe findings revealed that Huh7 and HA22T exosomes conferred enhanced viability as well as invasive ability to recipient HCC cells. Circ_002136 was shown for the first time to be differentially upregulated in HCC tissues and cells and transferred by HCC cell-derived exosomes. More importantly, selective silencing of circ_002136 depleted the malignant biological behaviors of HCC exosome-activated Huh7 and HA22T cells. Depletion of circ_002136 in vivo effectively retarded the growth of HCC xenograft tumors. Furthermore, a well-established circ_002136 ceRNA regulatory network was constructed, namely circ_002136 blocked miR-19a-3p expression, elevated RAB1A expression activity and stimulated HCC development. Finally, high levels of circ_002136 or RAB1A, as well as low levels of miR-19a-3p, negatively affected HCC patient survival.ConclusionThe study on circ_002136 provides good data to support our insight into the mechanism of to-be-silenced circRNA as a therapeutic agent in the progression of HCC.

Project description:BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, however, the underlying mechanisms that link CKD and CVD are not fully understood and limited treatment options exist in this high-risk population. microRNAs (miRNA) are critical regulators of gene expression for many biological processes in atherosclerosis, including endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. We hypothesized that renal injury-induced endothelial miRNAs promote atherosclerosis. Here, we demonstrate that dual inhibition of endothelial miRNAs inhibits atherosclerosis in the setting of renal injury. METHODS:Aortic endothelial miRNAs were analyzed in apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice with renal damage (5/6 nephrectomy, 5/6Nx) by real-time PCR. Endothelial miR-92a-3p and miR-489-3p were inhibited by locked-nucleic acid (LNA) miRNA inhibitors complexed to HDL. RESULTS:Renal injury significantly increased endothelial miR-92a-3p levels in Apoe-/-;5/6Nx mice. Dual inhibition of miR-92a-3p and miR-489-3p in Apoe-/-;5/6Nx with a single injection of HDL + LNA inhibitors significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion area by 28.6% compared to HDL + LNA scramble (LNA-Scr) controls. To examine the impact of dual LNA treatment on aortic endothelial gene expression, total RNA sequencing was completed, and multiple putative target genes and pathways were identified to be significantly altered, including the STAT3 immune response pathway. Among the differentially expressed genes, Tgfb2 and Fam220a were identified as putative targets of miR-489-3p and miR-92a-3p, respectively. Both Tgfb2 and Fam220a were significantly increased in aortic endothelium after miRNA inhibition in vivo compared to HDL + LNA-Scr controls. Furthermore, Tgfb2 and Fam220a were validated with gene reporter assays as direct targets of miR-489-3p and miR-92a-3p, respectively. In human coronary artery endothelial cells, over-expression and inhibition of miR-92a-3p decreased and increased FAM220A expression, respectively. Moreover, miR-92a-3p overexpression increased STAT3 phosphorylation, likely through direct regulation of FAM220A, a negative regulator of STAT3 phosphorylation. CONCLUSIONS:These results support endothelial miRNAs as therapeutic targets and dual miRNA inhibition as viable strategy to reduce CKD-associated atherosclerosis.
