Tumor-derived exosomal miR-19b-3p facilitates M2 macrophage polarization and exosomal LINC00273 secretion to promote lung adenocarcinoma metastasis via Hippo pathway.

ABSTRACT: Numerous reports have elucidated the important participation of exosomes in the communication between tumor cells and other cancer-related cells including tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in microenvironment. However, the interchange of exosomes between tumor cells and TAMs in the progression of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains largely enigmatic. Herein, we discovered that LUAD cells induced the M2 polarization of TAMs and the M2-polarized macrophages facilitated LUAD cell invasion and migration and tumor metastasis in vivo. In detail, LUAD cells secreted exosomes to transport miR-19b-3p into TAMs so that miR-19b-3p targeted PTPRD and inhibited the PTPRD-mediated dephosphorylation of STAT3 in TAMs, leading to STAT3 activation and M2 polarization. Also, the activated STAT3 transcriptionally induced LINC00273 in M2 macrophages and exosomal LINC00273 was transferred into LUAD cells. In LUAD cells, LINC00273 recruited NEDD4 to facilitate LATS2 ubiquitination and degradation, so that the Hippo pathway was inactivated and YAP induced the transcription of RBMX. RBMX bound to miR-19b-3p to facilitate the packaging of miR-19b-3p into LUAD cell-derived exosomes. Collectively, our results revealed the mechanism underlying the interactive communication between LUAD cells and TAMs through elucidating the exchange of exosomal miR-19b-3p and LINC00273 and proved the prometastatic effect of the interchange between two cells. These discoveries opened a new vision for developing LUAD treatment.

Project description:BackgroundEmerging evidence has revealed that tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and exosomes play a crucial role in the microenvironment for tumor growth. However, the mechanisms through which exosomal miRNAs modulate TAMs and tumor development in breast cancer are not fully understood.MethodsWe constructed a macrophage model and an indirect coculture system consist of breast cancer cells and macrophages. Exosomes were isolated from BC cells culture supernatant and identified by transmission electron microscopy, Western blot and Nanosight LM10 system. The expression of miR-148b-3p in exosomes was determined by qRT-PCR and the effect of exosomal miR-148b-3p on macrophage polarization was measured using qRT-PCR and ELISA. The proliferation, migration and invasion of BC cells were estimated by EdU, wound healing assay and transwell assay. We employed bioinformatics, luciferase reporter assay and Western blot to identify the target gene of miR-148b-3p. Western blot was used to clarify the mechanism of exosomal miR-148b-3p mediated the crosstalk between BC cells and M2 macrophages.ResultsCancer-derived exosomes could induce M2 polarization of macrophages, which promoted the migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. We found that exosomal miR-148b-3p was overexpressed in breast cancer cell-derived exosomes and correlated with lymph node metastasis, late tumor stage and worse prognosis. Upregulated miR-148b-3p expression in exosomes modulated macrophage polarization by targeting TSC2, which promoted the proliferation and might affect migration and invasion of breast cancer cells. Interestingly, we found that exosomal miR-148b-3p could induce M2 macrophage polarization via the TSC2/mTORC1 signaling pathway in breast cancer.ConclusionOverall, our study elucidated that miR-148b-3p could be transported by exosomes from breast cancer cells to surrounding macrophages and induced M2 polarization by targeting TSC2, providing novel insights for breast cancer therapy.
