MicroRNA-155-3p delivered by M2 macrophages-derived exosomes enhances the progression of medulloblastoma through regulation of WDR82.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Exosomes, membranous nanovesicles, naturally bringing proteins, mRNAs, and microRNAs (miRNAs), play crucial roles in tumor pathogenesis. This study was to investigate the role of miR-155-3p from M2 macrophages-derived exosomes (M2-Exo) in promoting medulloblastoma (MB) progression by mediating WD repeat domain 82 (WDR82).

Methods

miR-155-3p expression was detected by RT-qPCR. The relationship of miR-155-3p with clinicopathological features of MB patients was analyzed. M2-Exo were isolated and identified by TEM, NTA and Western blot. CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, flow cytometry, wound healing assay, and Transwell assay were performed to explore the role of miR-155-3p-enriched M2-Exo on the progression of MB cells. Luciferase assay were used to identify the relationship between miR-155-3p and WDR82. The effect of miR-155-3p-enriched M2-Exo on tumorigenesis of MB was confirmed by the xenograft nude mice model.

Results

miR-155-3p was up-regulated in MB tissues of patients and MB cell lines. High miR-155-3p expression was correlated with the pathological type and molecular subtype classification of MB patients. WDR82 was a direct target of miR-155-3p. miR-155-3p was packaged into M2-Exo. miR-155-3p-enriched M2-Exo promoted the progression of Daoy cells. miR-155-3p-enriched M2-Exo promoted in vivo tumorigenesis.

Conclusion

The study highlights that miR-155-3p-loaded M2-Exo enhances the growth of MB cells via down-regulating WDR82, which might provide a deep insight into MB mechanism.

Intravenously delivered mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes target M2-type macrophages in the injured spinal cord.

Project description:In a previous report we showed that intravenous infusion of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) improved functional recovery after contusive spinal cord injury (SCI) in the non-immunosuppressed rat, although the MSCs themselves were not detected at the spinal cord injury (SCI) site [1]. Rather, the MSCs lodged transiently in the lungs for about two days post-infusion. Preliminary studies and a recent report [2] suggest that the effects of intravenous (IV) infusion of MSCs could be mimicked by IV infusion of exosomes isolated from conditioned media of MSC cultures (MSCexos). In this study, we assessed the possible mechanism of MSCexos action on SCI by investigating the tissue distribution and cellular targeting of DiR fluorescent labeled MSCexos at 3 hours and 24 hours after IV infusion in rats with SCI. The IV delivered MSCexos were detected in contused regions of the spinal cord, but not in the noninjured region of the spinal cord, and were also detected in the spleen, which was notably reduced in weight in the SCI rat, compared to control animals. DiR "hotspots" were specifically associated with CD206-expressing M2 macrophages in the spinal cord and this was confirmed by co-localization with anti-CD63 antibodies labeling a tetraspanin characteristically expressed on exosomes. Our findings that MSCexos specifically target M2-type macrophages at the site of SCI, support the idea that extracellular vesicles, released by MSCs, may mediate at least some of the therapeutic effects of IV MSC administration.

Exosomes released from M2 macrophages transfer miR-221-3p contributed to EOC progression through targeting CDKN1B.

Project description:In contrast to other solid tumors within the abdominal cavity, epithelial ovarian cancers (EOCs) tend to undergo peritoneal metastasis. Thus, the peritoneal immune microenvironment is crucial for EOC progression. Previous reports indicate that the main immune cells within the peritoneum are M2 macrophages, specifically tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). The communication between TAMs and tumor cells plays an important role in EOC development, and exosomes, acting as micro-message carriers, occupy an essential position in this process. Microarray analyses of exosomes revealed that miR-221-3p was enriched in M2 exosomes. Furthermore, miR-221-3p suppressed cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 1B (CDKN1B) directly. Thus, miR-221-3p contributed to the proliferation and G1/S transition of EOC cells. Additionally, low levels of CDKN1B were associated with EOC progression and poor prognosis. These observations suggest that TAMs-derived exosomal miR-221-3p acts as a regulator of EOC progression by targeting CDKN1B. The results of this study confirm that certain exosomal microRNAs may provide novel diagnostic biomarkers and therapeutic targets for EOC.

Silencing MicroRNA-155 Attenuates Cardiac Injury and Dysfunction in Viral Myocarditis via Promotion of M2 Phenotype Polarization of Macrophages.

Project description:Macrophage infiltration is a hallmark feature of viral myocarditis. As studies have shown that microRNA-155 regulates the differentiation of macrophages, we aimed to investigate the role of microRNA-155 in VM. We report that silencing microRNA-155 protects mice from coxsackievirus B3 induced myocarditis. We found that microRNA-155 expression was upregulated and localized primarily in heart-infiltrating macrophages and CD4(+) T lymphocytes during acute myocarditis. In contrast with wildtype (WT) mice, microRNA-155(-/-) mice developed attenuated viral myocarditis, which was characterized by decreased cardiac inflammation and decreased intracardiac CD45(+) leukocytes. Hearts of microRNA-155(-/-) mice expressed decreased levels of the IFN-γ and increased levels of the cytokines IL-4 and IL-13. Although total CD4(+) and regulatory T cells were unchanged in miR-155(-/-) spleen proportionally, the activation of T cells and CD4(+) T cell proliferation in miR-155(-/-) mice were significantly decreased. Beyond the acute phase, microRNA-15(5-/-) mice had reduced mortality and improved cardiac function during 5 weeks of follow-up. Moreover, silencing microRNA-155 led to increased levels of alternatively-activated macrophages (M2) and decreased levels of classically-activated macrophages (M1) in the heart. Combined, our studies suggest that microRNA-155 confers susceptibility to viral myocarditis by affecting macrophage polarization, and thus may be a potential therapeutic target for viral myocarditis.

microRNA-27a-3p delivered by extracellular vesicles from glioblastoma cells induces M2 macrophage polarization via the EZH1/KDM3A/CTGF axis.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been demonstrated to modulate tumor microenvironment. In the present study, we attempted to discuss the role of hsa-microRNA-27a-3p (miR-27a-3p) delivered by GBM-EVs in M2 macrophage polarization. The isolated GBM-EVs were co-cultured with macrophages. After co-culture under normoxia/hypoxia, the effect of EV-derived hsa-miR-27a-3p on GBM cell biological processes was analyzed. Additionally, the target genes of hsa-miR-27a-3p were predicted. Moreover, the binding of enhancer of zeste homologue 1 (EZH1) to lysine-specific demethylase 3A (KDM3A) promoter region and the interaction between KDM3A and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) were analyzed. GBM mouse models were established to verify the functions of EV-derived hsa-miR-27a-3p in vivo. We found increased hsa-miR-27a-3p in GBM tissues as well as GBM-EVs, which induced M2 polarization, thus promoting proliferative, migrative and invasive potentials of GBM cells. hsa-miR-27a-3p targeted EZH1 and promoted KDM3A expression to elevate the CTGF expression. GBM-EV-delivered hsa-miR-27a-3p promoted the KDM3A-upregulated CTGF by downregulating EZH1, thereby promoting M2 macrophage polarization and development of GBM in vivo. We demonstrated that EV-derived hsa-miR-27a-3p may promote M2 macrophage polarization to induce GBM.

MicroRNA-155 promotes atherosclerosis by repressing Bcl6 in macrophages.

Project description:Macrophages in atherosclerotic plaques drive inflammatory responses, degrade lipoproteins, and phagocytose dead cells. MicroRNAs (miRs) control the differentiation and activity of macrophages by regulating the signaling of key transcription factors. However, the functional role of macrophage-related miRs in the immune response during atherogenesis is unknown. Here, we report that miR-155 is specifically expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and proinflammatory macrophages, where it was induced by treatment with mildly oxidized LDL (moxLDL) and IFN-γ. Leukocyte-specific Mir155 deficiency reduced plaque size and number of lesional macrophages after partial carotid ligation in atherosclerotic (Apoe-/-) mice. In macrophages stimulated with moxLDL/IFN-γ in vitro, and in lesional macrophages, loss of Mir155 reduced the expression of the chemokine CCL2, which promotes the recruitment of monocytes to atherosclerotic plaques. Additionally, we found that miR-155 directly repressed expression of BCL6, a transcription factor that attenuates proinflammatory NF-κB signaling. Silencing of Bcl6 in mice harboring Mir155-/- macrophages enhanced plaque formation and CCL2 expression. Taken together, these data demonstrated that miR-155 plays a key role in atherogenic programming of macrophages to sustain and enhance vascular inflammation.

M2 macrophages-derived exosomal microRNA-501-3p promotes the progression of lung cancer via targeting WD repeat domain 82.

Project description:BackgroundExosomes are known to transmit microRNAs (miRNAs) to affect cancer progression, while the role of M2 macrophages-derived exosomes (M2 exosomes) conveying miR-501-3p in lung cancer (LC) remains unknown. We aim to explore the role of exosomal miR-501-3p in LC development via targeting WD repeat domain 82 (WDR82).MethodsLung cancer tissue and normal tissue specimens were collected, in which tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) were measured by immunohistochemistry. M2 macrophages were induced and treated with altered miR-501-3p, and then the exosomes were extracted and identified. MiR-501-3p and WDR82 expression in LC tissues and cell liens was determined. The predictive role of miR-501-3p in prognosis of LC patients was assessed, and the proliferation, colony formation ability, invasion, migration and apoptosis of the LC cells were determined. Targeting relationship between miR-501-3p and WDR82 was confirmed.ResultsTAM level was elevated in lung cancer tissues. MiR-501-3p was upregulated while WDR82 was downregulated in LC tissues and cell lines, and the M2 exosomes further upregulated miR-501-3p. M2 exosomes and exosomal miR-501-3p promoted LC cell growth. MiR-501-3p inhibition reversed the effect of M2 exosomes on LC cells. WDR82 was confirmed as a target gene of miR-501-3p.ConclusionM2 macrophages-derived exosomal miR-501-3p promotes the progression of LC via downregulating WDR82.

Exosomes derived from M2 macrophages induce angiogenesis to promote wound healing.

Project description:There is an urgent clinical need for an appropriate method to shorten skin healing time. Among most factors related to wound healing, M2 macrophages will be recruited to the wound area and play a pivotal role in a time-limiting factor, angiogenesis. The exploration of exosomes derived from M2 in angiogenesis promotion is an attractive research field. In this project, we found that exosomes from M2 (M2-EXO) promoted the angiogenic ability of HUVECs in vitro. With a series of characteristic experiments, we demonstrated that M2-EXO inhibited PTEN expression in HUVECs by transferring miR-21, and further activated AKT/mTOR pathway. Then, using a full-thickness cutaneous wound mice model, we demonstrated that M2-EXO could be used as a promotor of angiogenesis and regeneration in vivo. Furthermore, M2-EXO-treated skin wounds exhibited regeneration of functional microstructures. These results demonstrate that M2-EXO can be used as a promising nanomedicine strategy for therapeutic exploration of skin healing with the potential to be translated into clinical practice.

Characterization of mRNA Profiles of Exosomes from Diverse Forms of M2 Macrophages.

Project description:Exosomes transmit certain amounts of molecules to specific recipient cells for intercellular communication. Among these molecules, messenger RNAs (mRNAs) may be delivered and translated into proteins in the recipient cells, and these mRNAs are thought to be critical mediators of exosomal functions. There are three subtypes of M2 macrophages (M2Ф), M2aФ, M2bФ, and M2cФ, which have different specific functional programs. The aim of the present study was to screen the mRNA profiles in the exosomes of these macrophage subtypes and to analyze the transcriptomic profile features associated with their specific functions. The mRNA contents of the exosomes isolated from the culture supernatants of the M2Ф subtypes were analyzed and compared using the Illumina HiSeq platform. The results indicated that the exosomes contained particular mRNAs from their source cells and were messengers of cellular functions. Bioinformatics analysis suggested that the exosomal mRNAs from M2bФs are enriched in the Toll-like receptor (TLR), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), NOD-like receptor (NLR), and NF-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways. The mRNA profile of exosomes from M2bФ was distinctly different from that of exosomes from M2aФ and M2cФ and was consistent with the M2bФ cytological characteristic of maintaining a high level of proinflammatory cytokine and regulatory factor production. Therefore, the mRNA profiles revealed several characteristics of the exosomes from diverse forms of M2Ф. Further functional investigations based on these results may advance the understanding of the physiological roles of exosome-transferred mRNAs in MФ functions.

EZH2-Inhibited MicroRNA-454-3p Promotes M2 Macrophage Polarization in Glioma.

Project description:Glioma is a primary intracranial tumor with high incidence and mortality. The oncogenic role of EZH2 has been reported in glioma. EZH2 inhibited microRNA-454-3p (miR-454-3p) by binding to its promoter in chondrosarcoma cells. Therefore, our study aimed to identify whether EZH2 regulated M2 macrophage polarization in glioma via miR-454-3p. Clinical samples of different grades of glioma and glioma cells were collected and immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR demonstrated that EZH2 was highly expressed in glioma tissues. Expression of EZH2 was positively correlated with the degree of M2 macrophage polarization in glioma tissues. EZH2 was silenced by lentivirus in glioma cells, which were subsequently co-cultured with macrophages to evaluate its effect on macrophage polarization. miR-454-3p, a down-regulated miR in glioma, was found to be increased after silencing of EZH2. Furthermore, MethPrimer analysis showed that EZH2 silencing inhibited the DNA methylation level of miR-454-3p. Additionally, MS-PCR, dual-luciferase reporter, RIP and RNA pull down assays revealed that miR-454-3p promoted PTEN expression by inhibiting m6A modification through binding to the enzyme YTHDF2. Either inhibition of miR-454-3p or PTEN resulted in promotion of M2 macrophage polarization. Collectively, histone methyltransferase EZH2 inhibited miR-454-3p through methylation modification and promoted m6A modification of PTEN to induce glioma M2 macrophage polarization.

MicroRNA-155 is required for Mycobacterium bovis BCG-mediated apoptosis of macrophages.

Project description:Pathogenic mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis, cause significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. However, the vaccine strain Mycobacterium bovis BCG, unlike virulent strains, triggers extensive apoptosis of infected macrophages, a step necessary for the elicitation of robust protective immunity. We here demonstrate that M. bovis BCG triggers Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2)-dependent microRNA-155 (miR-155) expression, which involves signaling cross talk among phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase Cδ (PKCδ), and mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) and recruitment of NF-κB and c-ETS to miR-155 promoter. Genetic and signaling perturbations presented the evidence that miR-155 regulates PKA signaling by directly targeting a negative regulator of PKA, protein kinase inhibitor alpha (PKI-α). Enhanced activation of PKA signaling resulted in the generation of PKA C-α; phosphorylation of MSK1, cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB), and histone H3; and recruitment of phospho-CREB to the apoptotic gene promoters. The miR-155-triggered activation of caspase-3, BAK1, and cytochrome c translocation involved signaling integration of MAPKs and epigenetic or posttranslational modification of histones or CREB. Importantly, M. bovis BCG infection-induced apoptosis was severely compromised in macrophages derived from miR-155 knockout mice. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies validated the requirement of miR-155 for M. bovis BCG's ability to trigger apoptosis. Overall, M. bovis BCG-driven miR-155 dictates cell fate decisions of infected macrophages, strongly implicating a novel role for miR-155 in orchestrating cellular reprogramming during immune responses to mycobacterial infection.
