Dynamics of intercellular and extracellular (exosomal) miRNAs in hypoxic RPMI8226 cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Recently, the existence of extracellular miRNAs enclosed in exosomes has raised the possibility that they play an important role in cell-cell communication. To gain more insight into cell-cell communication via exosomal miRNAs, we investigated whether or not tumor cells exposed to hypoxia secrete exosomes which may affect angiogeneic activity. We used RPMI8226 cells, as donor cells, and HUVECs as recipient cells. Exosomes derived from RPMI8226 cells cultured in normoxia (20%) or hypoxia (1%) for 24 h were used for validation of angiogeneic activity, such as tube formation assay. The exosome secreted from RPMI8226 cells in hypoxic condition significantly enhanced tube formation by HUVECs when compared with exosome obtained from RPMI8226 cell in normoxic condition. To identify cellular and exosomal miRNAs universally responding to hypoxic condition, we assess the expression profiles of intercellular and extracellular miRNAs in RPMI8226 cells cultured in normoxia (20%) or hypoxia (1%) for 24 h using Taqman MicroRNA Array v2.0 (Applied Biosystems, Bedford, MA).
