Exosomal Delivery of AntagomiRs Targeting Viral and Cellular MicroRNAs Synergistically Inhibits Cancer Angiogenesis.


ABSTRACT: Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer characterized by a high degree of recurrence, angiogenesis, and metastasis. The importance of alternative pro-angiogenesis pathways including viral factors has emerged after decades of directly targeting various signaling components. Using NPC as a model, we identified an essential oncogenic pathway underlying angiogenesis regulation that involves the inhibition of a tumor suppressor, Spry3, and its downstream targets by EBV-miR-BART10-5p (BART10-5p) and hsa-miR-18a (miR-18a). Overexpression of EBV-miR-BART10-5p and hsa-miR-18a strongly promotes angiogenesis in vitro and in vivo by regulating the expression of VEGF and HIF1-? in a Spry3-dependent manner. In vitro or in vivo treatment with iRGD-tagged exosomes containing antagomiR-BART10-5p and antagomiR-18a preferentially suppressed the angiogenesis and growth of NPC. Our findings first highlight the role of EBV-miR-BART10-5p and oncogenic hsa-miR-18a in NPC angiogenesis and also shed new insights into the clinical intervention and therapeutic strategies for nasopharyngeal carcinoma and other virus-associated tumors.
