Intermittent Hypoxia Mediates Paraspeckle Protein-1 Upregulation in Sleep Apnea.

ABSTRACT: As some evidence suggests that hypoxia might be an inducer of nuclear paraspeckle formation, we explore whether intermittent hypoxia (IH)-mediated paraspeckle protein-1 (PSPC1) overexpression might contribute to the activation of tumor growth factor (TGF)β-SMAD pathway in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This activation would promote changes in intracellular signaling that would explain the increased cancer aggressiveness reported in these patients. Here, we show that patients with OSA exhibit elevated PSPC1 levels both in plasma and in monocytes. Our data suggest that PSPC1 is ultimately delivered to the plasma through its cleavage from OSA monocytes by matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2). In addition, IH promotes PSPC1, TGFβ, and MMP2 expression in monocytes through the hypoxia-inducible factor. Lastly, both PSPC1 and TGFβ induce increased expression of genes that drive the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Our study details the mechanism by which hypoxemia upmodulates the extracellular release of PSPC1 by means of MMP2, such that plasma PSPC1 together with TGFβ activation signaling further promotes tumor metastasis and supports cancer aggressiveness in patients with OSA.

Project description:Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with increased cutaneous melanoma incidence and adverse outcomes. Exosomes are secreted by most cells, and play a role in OSA-associated tumor progression and metastasis. We aimed to study the effects of plasma exosomes from OSA patients before and after adherent treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on melanoma cells lines, and also to identify exosomal miRNAs from melanoma cells exposed to intermittent hypoxia (IH) or normoxia. Plasma-derived exosomes were isolated from moderate-to-severe OSA patients before (V1) and after (V2) adherent CPAP treatment for one year. Exosomes were co-incubated with three3 different melanoma cell lines (CRL 1424; CRL 1619; CRL 1675) that are characterized by genotypes involving different mutations in BRAF, STK11, CDKN2A, and PTEN genes to assess the effect of exosomes on cell proliferation and migration, as well as on pAMK activity in the presence or absence of a chemical activator. Subsequently, CRL-1424 and CRL-1675 cells were exposed to intermittent hypoxia (IH) and normoxia, and exosomal miRNAs were identified followed by GO and KEG pathways and gene networks. The exosomes from these IH-exposed melanoma cells were also administered to THP1 macrophages to examine changes in M1 and M2 polarity markers. Plasma exosomes from V1 increased CRL-1424 melanoma cell proliferation and migration compared to V2, but not the other two cell lines. Exposure to CRL-1424 exosomes reduced pAMPK/tAMPK in V1 compared to V2, and treatment with AMPK activator reversed the effects. Unique exosomal miRNAs profiles were identified for CRL-1424 and CRL-1675 in IH compared to normoxia, with six miRNAs being regulated and several KEGG pathways were identified. Two M1 markers (CXCL10 and IL6) were significantly increased in monocytes when treated with exosomes from IH-exposed CRL-1424 and CRL-1625 cells. Our findings suggest that exosomes from untreated OSA patients increase CRL-1424 melanoma malignant properties, an effect that is not observed in two other melanoma cell lines. Exosomal cargo from CRL-1424 cells showed a unique miRNA signature compared to CRL-1675 cells after IH exposures, suggesting that melanoma cells are differentially susceptible to IH, even if they retain similar effects on immune cell polarity. It is postulated that mutations in STK-11 gene encoding for the serine/threonine kinase family that acts as a tumor suppressor may underlie susceptibility to IH-induced metabolic dysfunction, as illustrated by CRL-1424 cells.
