MiR-33b-3p Suppresses Metastasis in Prostate Cancer by Targeting DOCK4

ABSTRACT: Purpose: Despite that androgen-deprivation therapy results in long-lasting responses, the disease inevitably progresses to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. In this study, we identified miR-33b-3p as a suppressor of metastasis in prostate cancer. miR-33b-3p was significantly reduced in prostate cancer tissues, and the low expression of miR-33b-3p was correlated with poor overall survival of prostate cancer patients. Overexpression of miR-33b-3p inhibited both migration and invasion of highly metastatic prostate cancer cells whereas antagonizing miR-33b-3p promoted those processes in lowly metastatic cells. The in vivo results demonstrate that miR-33b-3p suppresses metastasis of tail vein inoculated prostate cancer cells to lung, liver, and lymph node in mice. DOCK4 was validated as the direct target of miR-33b-3p. miR-33b-3p decreased the expression of DOCK4 and restoration of DOCK4 could rescue miR-33b-3p inhibition on cell migration and invasion. Moreover, downregulation of miR-33b-3p was induced by bortezomib, the clinically used proteasome inhibitor, and overexpression of miR-33b-3p rescued the insufficient inhibition of bortezomib on migration and invasion in prostate cancer cells. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that miR-33b-3p suppresses metastasis by targeting DOCK4 in prostate cancer. Our results suggest that enhancing miR-33b-3p expression may provide a promising therapeutic strategy for overcoming that proteasome inhibitor’s poor efficacy against metastatic prostate cancer.

Project description:Aim: EBV encode at least 44 miRNAs involved in immune regulation and disease progression. Exosomes can be used as carriers of EBV-miRNA-BART intercellular transmission and affect the biological behavior of cells. We characterized exosomes and established a co-culture experiment of exosomes to explore the mechanism of miR-BART1-3p transmission through the exosome pathway and its influence on tumor cell proliferation and invasion. Materials and methods: Exosomes of EBV-positive and EBV-negative gastric cancer cells were characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Nanosight and western blotting, and miRNA expression profiles in exosomes were sequenced with high throughput. Exosomes with high or low expression of miR-BART1-3p were co-cultured with AGS cells to study the effects on proliferation, invasion and migration of gastric cancer cells. The target genes of EBV-miR-BART1-3p were screened and predicted by PITA, miRanda, RNAhybrid, virBase and Diana-Tarbase v.8 databases, and the expression of the target genes after co-culture was detected by qPCR. Results：The exosomes secreted by EBV positive and negative gastric cancer cells range in diameter from 30 nm to 150nm and express the exosomal signature proteins CD63 and CD81. High throughput sequencing showed that exosomes expressed some human miRNAs, among which has-miR-23b-3p, has-miR-320a-3p and has-miR-4521 were highly expressed in AGS-exo. has-miR-21-5p, has-miR-148a-3p and has-miR-7-5p were highly expressed in SNU-719-exo. All EBV miRNAs were expressed in SNU-719 cells and their exosomes, among which EBV- miR-Bart1-5p, EBV- miR-bart22 and EBV- miR-bart16 were the highest in SNU-719 cells. EBV-miR-BART1-5p, EBV-miR-BART10-3p and EBV-miR-BART16 were the highest in SNU-719-exo. After miR-BART1-3p silencing in gastric cancer cells, the proliferation, healing, migration and invasion of tumor cells were significantly improved. Laser confocal microscopy showed that exosomes could carry miRNA into recipient cells. After co-culture with miR-BART1-3p silenced exosomes, the proliferation, healing, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells were significantly improved. The target gene of miR-BART1-3p was FMA168A, MACC1, CPEB3, ANKRD28 and USP37 after screening by targeted database. CPEB3 was not expressed in all exosome co-cultured cells, while ANKRD28, USP37, MACC1 and FAM168A were all expressed to varying degrees. USP37 and MACC1 are down-regulated after up-regulation of miR-BART1-3p, which may be the key target genes for miR-BART1-3p to regulate the proliferation of gastric cancer cells through exosomes. Conclusions: miR-BART1-3p can affect the growth of tumor cells through exosome pathway. The proliferation, healing, migration and invasion of gastric cancer cells were significantly improved after co-culture with exosomes of miR-BART1-3p silenced expression. USP37 and MACC1 may be potential target genes of miR-BART1-3p in regulating cell proliferation.
