Project description:Extracellular vesicle‑packaged microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of circulating miRNAs located in the plasma that are packaged into extracellular vesicles. The present study examined the expression profiles of extracellular vesicles and tissue miRNAs with the aim of investigating the miRNA signatures in early‑stage breast cancer. The present study identified and compared the extracellular vesicle‑packaged miRNA expression signature and tissue miRNA expression signature from healthy individuals (n=10) and patients with early‑stage breast cancer (n=12). A total of five miRNAs, including miRNA‑375, miRNA‑24‑2‑5p, miRNA‑548b‑5p, miRNA‑655‑3P and miRNA‑376b‑5p, were synchronized in extracellular vesicles and tissues of the breast cancer group when compared with the healthy group. The highest area under the curve (AUC) for a single miRNA was achieved with miRNA‑548b‑5p [AUC=0.785; 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.585‑0.984; P=0.022]. The highest overall AUC was achieved by the combination of miRNA‑375, miRNA‑655‑3p, miRNA‑548b‑5p and miRNA‑24‑2‑5p (AUC=0.808; 95% CI=0.629‑0.986; P=0.013). The Kaplan‑Meier curves and log test analysis results of these five miRNAs, especially those for miRNA‑548b‑5p, were partly consistent with the hypothesis. Two miRNAs (miRNA‑548b‑5p and miRNA‑376b‑5p) were positively associated with patient survival, while two miRNAs (miRNA‑375 and miRNA‑24‑2‑5p) were negatively associated with patient survival. The present study provided a set of plasma extracellular vesicle‑packaged miRNA‑based biomarkers for the diagnosis of early‑stage breast cancer.

Project description:Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) binding (termed SUMOylation) emerged as the inducer for the sorting of bioactive molecules into extracellular vesicles (EVs), triggering lymphangiogenesis and further driving tumor lymph node (LN) metastasis, but the precise mechanisms remain largely unclear. Here, we show that bladder cancer (BCa) cell-secreted EVs mediated intercellular communication with human lymphatic endothelial cells (HLECs) through transmission of the long noncoding RNA ELNAT1 and promoted lymphangiogenesis and LN metastasis in a SUMOylation-dependent manner in both cultured BCa cell lines and mouse models. Mechanistically, ELNAT1 induced UBC9 overexpression to catalyze the SUMOylation of hnRNPA1 at the lysine 113 residue, which mediated recognition of ELNAT1 by the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) and facilitated its packaging into EVs. EV-mediated ELNAT1 was specifically transmitted into HLECs and epigenetically activated SOX18 transcription to induce lymphangiogenesis. Importantly, blocking the SUMOylation of tumor cells by downregulating UBC9 expression markedly reduced lymphatic metastasis in EV-mediated, ELNAT1-treated BCa in vivo. Clinically, EV-mediated ELNAT1 was correlated with LN metastasis and a poor prognosis for patients with BCa. These findings highlight a molecular mechanism whereby the EV-mediated ELNAT1/UBC9/SOX18 regulatory axis promotes lymphangiogenesis and LN metastasis in BCa in a SUMOylation-dependent manner and implicate ELNAT1 as an attractive therapeutic target for LN metastatic BCa.

Project description:Cancer-derived extracellular vesicles are known to play a role in the progression of the disease. In this rapidly-growing field, there are many reports of phenotypic changes in cells following exposure to cancer-derived extracellular vesicles. This study examines the protein contents of vesicles derived from three well-known breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7, MDA-MB-231 and T47D, using peptide-centric LC-MS/MS and cytokine multiplex immunoassay analysis to understand the molecular basis of these changes. Through these techniques a large number of proteins within these vesicles were identified. A large proportion of these proteins are known to be important in cancer formation and progression and associated with cancer signaling, angiogenesis, metastasis and invasion and immune regulation. This highlights the importance of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in cancer communications and shows some of the mechanisms the vesicles use to assist in cancer progression.

Project description:Purpose: Extracellular vesicle (EV)‑derived microRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of circulating miRNAs located in the plasma that are are now considered the next generation of cancer “theranostic” tools, with a strong clinical relevance. Although the potential role of EV-packaged miRNAs in breast cancer diagnosis has been widely reported, further studies are still demanded to address this challenging issue. The present study examined the expression profiles of EVs and circulating miRNAs with the aim of identifying novel miRNA signatures in breast cancer, and verify their diagnostic accurancy.

Project description:In all living things, temperature is a key factor to maintain function and survive. Animals and plants need to adapt temperature change with optimizing their behaviour and growth by sensing temperature. Similarly, tumour cells must adapt continuously to fluctuations in external conditions including temperature. To find a better environment, cancer cells promote growth and metastasis, which contributes to tumour malignancy. Pathological studies in breast cancer have implied that temperature is associated with disease progression. However, no clear mechanisms have emerged for how thermal changes affect tumour cells and their gene regulation in tumour development and malignancy. Here we discovered the temperature-dependent extracellular vesicle (EV) secretion in breast cancer. Cancer cell growth and EV secretion increased in a temperature-dependent manner, which indicated that temperatures were associated with poor prognosis in breast cancer patients. We also found that low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), a responsible gene for temperature-dependent EV secretion, was upregulated with the increase in temperature. Consistent with our results, LDLR gene has been characterized and identified as a key factor for malignancy in a wide range of cancers. Our findings shed new light on tumour aggressiveness and therapeutic strategies for breast cancer, especially regarding EV formation and secretion, thus providing a new relationship between cancer and EV biology in the light of temperature.

Project description:WNT/?-catenin signalling is crucial for intestinal homoeostasis. The intestinal epithelium and stroma are the major source of WNT ligands but their origin and role in intestinal stem cell (ISC) and epithelial repair remains unknown. Macrophages are a major constituent of the intestinal stroma. Here, we analyse the role of macrophage-derived WNT in intestinal repair in mice by inhibiting their release using a macrophage-restricted ablation of Porcupine, a gene essential for WNT synthesis. Such Porcn-depleted mice have normal intestinal morphology but are hypersensitive to radiation injury in the intestine compared with wild-type (WT) littermates. Porcn-null mice are rescued from radiation lethality by treatment with WT but not Porcn-null bone marrow macrophage-conditioned medium (CM). Depletion of extracellular vesicles (EV) from the macrophage CM removes WNT function and its ability to rescue ISCs from radiation lethality. Therefore macrophage-derived EV-packaged WNTs are essential for regenerative response of intestine against radiation.
