MiR-92a-3p encapsulated in bone metastatic mammary tumor cell-derived extracellular vesicles modulates mature osteoclast longevity.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant osteoclast formation and activation are the hallmarks of osteolytic metastasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs), released from bone metastatic tumor cells, play a pivotal role in the progression of osteolytic lesions. However, the mechanisms through which tumor cell-derived EVs regulate osteoclast differentiation and function have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we found that 4T1 bone metastatic mouse mammary tumor cell-derived EVs (4T1-EVs) are taken up by mouse bone marrow macrophages to facilitate osteoclastogenesis. Furthermore, treatment of mature osteoclasts with 4T1-EVs promoted bone resorption, which was accompanied by enhanced survival of mature osteoclasts through the negative regulation of caspase-3. By comparing the miRNA content in 4T1-EVs with that in 67NR nonmetastatic mouse mammary tumor cell-derived EVs (67NR-EVs), miR-92a-3p was identified as one of the most enriched miRNAs in 4T1-EVs, and its transfer into mature osteoclasts significantly reduced apoptosis. Bioinformatic and Western blot analyses revealed that miR-92a-3p directly targeted phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) in mature osteoclasts, resulting in increased levels of phospho-Akt. Our findings provide novel insights into the EV-mediated regulation of osteoclast survival through the transfer of miR-92a-3p, which enhances mature osteoclast survival via the Akt survival signaling pathway, thus promoting bone resorption.

Project description:Background and aimsCardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, however, the underlying mechanisms that link CKD and CVD are not fully understood and limited treatment options exist in this high-risk population. microRNAs (miRNA) are critical regulators of gene expression for many biological processes in atherosclerosis, including endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. We hypothesized that renal injury-induced endothelial miRNAs promote atherosclerosis. Here, we demonstrate that dual inhibition of endothelial miRNAs inhibits atherosclerosis in the setting of renal injury.MethodsAortic endothelial miRNAs were analyzed in apolipoprotein E-deficient (Apoe-/-) mice with renal damage (5/6 nephrectomy, 5/6Nx) by real-time PCR. Endothelial miR-92a-3p and miR-489-3p were inhibited by locked-nucleic acid (LNA) miRNA inhibitors complexed to HDL.ResultsRenal injury significantly increased endothelial miR-92a-3p levels in Apoe-/-;5/6Nx mice. Dual inhibition of miR-92a-3p and miR-489-3p in Apoe-/-;5/6Nx with a single injection of HDL + LNA inhibitors significantly reduced atherosclerotic lesion area by 28.6% compared to HDL + LNA scramble (LNA-Scr) controls. To examine the impact of dual LNA treatment on aortic endothelial gene expression, total RNA sequencing was completed, and multiple putative target genes and pathways were identified to be significantly altered, including the STAT3 immune response pathway. Among the differentially expressed genes, Tgfb2 and Fam220a were identified as putative targets of miR-489-3p and miR-92a-3p, respectively. Both Tgfb2 and Fam220a were significantly increased in aortic endothelium after miRNA inhibition in vivo compared to HDL + LNA-Scr controls. Furthermore, Tgfb2 and Fam220a were validated with gene reporter assays as direct targets of miR-489-3p and miR-92a-3p, respectively. In human coronary artery endothelial cells, over-expression and inhibition of miR-92a-3p decreased and increased FAM220A expression, respectively. Moreover, miR-92a-3p overexpression increased STAT3 phosphorylation, likely through direct regulation of FAM220A, a negative regulator of STAT3 phosphorylation.ConclusionsThese results support endothelial miRNAs as therapeutic targets and dual miRNA inhibition as viable strategy to reduce CKD-associated atherosclerosis.
