Lung Cancer Cell-Derived Exosomal let-7d-5p Down-Regulates OPRM1 to Promote Cancer-Induced Bone Pain.

ABSTRACT: Cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP) is the pain caused by metastasis of malignant tumors to the bone, accounting for more than half of all chronic cancer pain, which seriously affects the quality of life among tumor patients. Up to 40% of patients with advanced lung cancer suffer from CIBP. MicroRNA (miRNA) transfers between cells through exosomes, mediates cell-to-cell communication, and performs various biological functions. Studies have shown that miRNAs secreted by cancer can modify the tumor microenvironment, but whether exosome-mediated miRNA transfer plays a role in CIBP is still unknown. In this study, the expression levels of 15 miRNAs in exosomes derived A549 cells and 18 miRNAs in exosomes derived NCI-H1299 cells were significantly up-regulated, and qRT-PCR further confirmed that the level of let-7d-5p was increased most considerably. In vitro, exosomal let-7d-5p (EXO let-7d-5p) can be taken up by dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and inhibit the protein level of the target gene opioid receptor mu 1 (OPRM1). EXO let-7d-5p was further confirmed to be involved in the generation and maintenance of CIBP in vivo. Our findings clarify the molecular mechanism of CIBP caused by the inhibition of OPRM1 by EXO let-7d-5p, providing new clues and intervention targets for the prevention and treatment of CIBP.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Exosomes are emerging as important mediators of the cross-talk between tumor cells and the microenvironment. The communication between tumor-derived exosomes and macrophages has a critical role in facilitating tumor progression. However, the mechanisms by which exosomes modulate tumor development in lung cancer are not fully understood. METHODS:Short hairpin RNA mediated knockdown or exogenous expression of TRIM59 combined with in vitro and in vivo assays were performed to prove the functional significance of TRIM59. Western blotting, real-time PCR, co-immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence (IF) staining assays, proximity ligation assay (PLA), ubiquitination assays, lactate secretion and lipid droplets content measurement, and rescue experiments were used to evaluate the mechanism. Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) cells were injected via subcutaneously or tail vein into C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) and transgenic mice to assess the role of TRIM59 in vivo. RESULTS:We demonstrated that tripartite motif-containing 59 (TRIM59) was expressed in lung cancer cells-derived exosomes, and can be transferred to macrophages through the exosomes. Activated macrophages by TRIM59 promote lung cancer progression in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic investigations revealed that TRIM59 physically interacts with abhydrolase domain containing 5 (ABHD5) and directly induced the ubiquitination of ABHD5 and led to its proteasome-dependent degradation. ABHD5, an lipolytic co-activator, deficiency induced metabolic reprogramming and enabled NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages. Further studies showed that the exacerbation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation by ABHD5 deficiency, provides a positive feedback loop to promote cancer progression by preferentially secrete the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1?. CONCLUSIONS:Collectively, these data indicate that tumor-derived exosomal TRIM59 converts macrophages to tumor-promoting functions of macrophages via regulating ABHD5 proteasomal degradation, to activate NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway to promote lung cancer progression by IL-1? secretion. Our findings also indicate that tumor-derived exosomal TRIM59 has an important role in intercellular communication for fostering an inflammatory microenvironment and promoting lung metastasis.
