TGF-?-mediated exosomal lnc-MMP2-2 regulates migration and invasion of lung cancer cells to the vasculature by promoting MMP2 expression.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies indicated that transforming growth factor (TGF)-?-mediated exosomal microRNAs (miRNAs) regulate the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells; however, whether and how TGF-?-mediated exosomal long noncoding (lnc) RNAs regulate migration and invasion of lung cancer cells remains unclear. Here, coculture experiments showed that TGF-? pretreatment increased the migration and invasion potential of lung cancer cells and TGF-? pretreated A549 cells increases vascular permeability. Furthermore, we found that TGF-?-mediated exosomes, as carriers of intercellular communication, regulated lung cancer invasion, and vascular permeability. Transcriptional analysis also revealed that lnc-MMP2-2 was highly enriched in TGF-?-mediated exosomes and might function by increasing the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 through its enhancer activity, with ectopic expression and silencing of lnc-MMP2-2 affecting lung cancer invasion and vascular permeability. Additionally, lnc-MMP2-2 and MMP2 expression was assessed semiquantitatively, and tissue-specific correlations between lnc-MMP2-2 and MMP2 expression were evaluated. These results suggested that exosomal lnc-MMP2-2 might regulate the migration and invasion of lung cancer cells into the vasculature by promoting MMP2 expression, suggesting this lncRNA as a novel therapeutic target and predictive marker of tumor metastasis in lung cancer.

Project description:PurposeCyclase-associated protein 1 (CAP1) is a ubiquitous protein which regulates actin dynamics. Previous studies have shown that S308 and S310 are the two major phosphorylated sites in human CAP1. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the role of CAP1 phosphorylation in lung cancer.MethodsMassive bioinformatics analysis was applied to determine CAP1's role in different cancers and especially in lung cancer. Lung cancer patients' serum and tissue were collected and analyzed in consideration of clinical background. CAP1 shRNA-lentivirus and siRNA were applied to CAP1 gene knockdown, and plasmids were constructed for CAP1 phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation. Microarray analysis was used for CAP1-associated difference analysis. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to investigate the roles of CAP1 phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation in lung cancer A549 cells.ResultsCAP1 is a kind of cancer-related protein. Its mRNA was overexpressed in most types of cancer tissues when compared with normal tissues. CAP1 high expression correlated with poor prognosis. Our results showed that serum CAP1 protein concentrations were significantly upregulated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients when compared with the healthy control group, higher serum CAP1 protein concentration correlated with shorter overall survival (OS) in NSCLC patients, and higher pCAP1 and CAP1 protein level were observed in lung cancer patients' tumor tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue. Knockdown CAP1 in A549 cells can inhibit proliferation and migration, and the effect is validated in H1975 cells. It can also lead to an increase ratio of F-actin/G-actin. In addition, phosphorylated S308 and S310 in CAP1 promoted lung cancer cell proliferation, migration, and metastasis both in vitro and in vivo. When de-phosphorylated, these two sites in CAP1 showed the opposite effect. Phosphorylation of CAP1 can promote epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).ConclusionThese findings indicated that CAP1 phosphorylation can promote lung cancer proliferation, migration, and invasion. Phosphorylation sites of CAP1 might be a novel target for lung cancer treatment.

Project description:Study hypothesisWe hypothesized that Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)2 and MMP9 are involved in basal and gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH)-induced human extravillous trophoblast (EVT) cell invasion.Study findingOur finding indicates that GnRH-induced RUNX2 expression enhances the invasive capacity of EVT cells by modulating the expression of MMP2 and MMP9.What is known alreadyGnRH is expressed in first-trimester placenta and exerts pro-invasive effects on EVT cells in vitro. RUNX2 regulates MMP2 and MMP9 expression and is often associated with invasive phenotypes.Study design, samples/materials, methodsFirst-trimester human placenta (n = 9) was obtained from women undergoing elective termination of pregnancy. The localization of RUNX2, MMP2 and MMP9 in first-trimester human placenta was examined by immunohistochemistry. Primary or immortalized (HTR-8/SVneo) EVT cells were treated alone or in combination with GnRH, GnRH antagonist Antide, MAPK kinase inhibitor PD98095, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor LY294002, MMP2/9 inhibitor or small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) targeting RUNX2, MMP2 and/or MMP9. Protein and mRNA levels were measured by western blot and RT-PCR, respectively. Cell invasiveness was evaluated by transwell Matrigel or collagen I invasion assays.Main results and the role of chanceRUNX2, MMP2 and MMP9 were detected in the cell column regions of human first-trimester placental villi. GnRH treatment increased RUNX2 mRNA and protein levels in HTR-8/SVneo cells and primary EVTs, and these effects were attenuated by co-treatment with Antide, PD98095 or LY294002. Down-regulation of RUNX2 by siRNA reduced basal and GnRH-induced MMP2/9 expression and cell invasion. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition or siRNA-mediated knockdown of MMP2/9 reduced basal and GnRH-induced cell invasion.Limitations, reasons for cautionThe lack of an in vivo model is the major limitation of our in vitro study.Wider implications of the findingsOur findings provide important insight into the functions of the GnRH - GnRH receptor system in early implantation and placentation.Large scale dataNot applicable.Study funding and competing interestsThis research was supported by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (Grant #143317) to P.C.K.L.
