ADVANCED SCIENCE (WEINHEIM, BADEN-WURTTEMBERG, GERMANY) 2024; 11:e2306555. [PMID: 38477548 PMCID: PMC11132028 DOI: 10.1002/advs.202306555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2023] [Revised: 02/18/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024]
Abstract
The dynamic balance between hypoxia and oxidative stress constitutes the oxygen-related microenvironment in injured tissues. Due to variability, oxygen homeostasis is usually not a therapeutic target for injured tissues. It is found that when administered intravenously, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and in vitro induced apoptotic vesicles (ApoVs) exhibit similar apoptotic markers in the wound microenvironment where hypoxia and oxidative stress co-existed, but MSCs exhibited better effects in promoting angiogenesis and wound healing. The derivation pathway of ApoVs by inducing hypoxia or oxidative stress in MSCs to simulate oxygen homeostasis in injured tissues is improved. Two types of oxygen-related environmental stressed ApoVs are identified that directly target endothelial cells (ECs) for the accurate regulation of vascularization. Compared to normoxic and hypoxic ones, oxidatively stressed ApoVs (Oxi-ApoVs) showed the strongest tube formation capacity. Different oxygen-stressed ApoVs deliver similar miRNAs, which leads to the broad upregulation of EC phosphokinase activity. Finally, local delivery of Oxi-ApoVs-loaded hydrogel microspheres promotes wound healing. Oxi-ApoV-loaded microspheres achieve controlled ApoV release, targeting ECs by reducing the consumption of inflammatory cells and adapting to the proliferative phase of wound healing. Thus, the biogenerated apoptotic vesicles responding to oxygen-related environmental stress can target ECs to promote vascularization.

TP53 mitigates cisplatin resistance in non-small cell lung cancer by mediating the effects of resistant cell-derived exosome mir-424-5p. Heliyon 2024; 10:e26853. [PMID: 38439876 PMCID: PMC10909722 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e26853] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/28/2023] [Revised: 01/21/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 03/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Cisplatin (DDP) is the principal agent used for chemotherapy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, DDP resistance is an essential cause for a worse prognosis of patient. Therefore, this study proposes to discover features of miR-424-5p in DDP resistance of NSCLC. Method After exogenous modulation of miR-424-5p expression, A549 cell activity was measured using CCK-8 and flow cytometry. A549/DDP and A549/DDP-associated subcutaneous tumor model were constructed to investigate the effect of miR-424-5p on DDP resistance in NSCLC in vivo. TargetScan and JASPAR databases predicted the potential molecular mechanism of miR-424-5p. A549-and A549/DDP-derived exosomes were isolated and characterized using a transmission electron microscope and nanoparticle tracking analysis. Result Overexpression of miR-424-5p facilitated proliferation and DDP resistance in A549 cells, and knockdown of miR-424-5p did the opposite. Knockdown of miR-424-5p enhanced DDP restriction on tumor weight and volume. Moreover, SOCS5 and SOCS56 (SOCS5/6) were downstream targets of miR-424-5p. miR-424-5p down-regulated SOCS5/6 expression to activate JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/AKT pathways. Notably, tumor protein p53 (TP53) is a transcription factor for the miR-424-5p host gene, as confirmed by the dual-luciferase reporter gene. Cellular and animal experiments indicated that TP53 limited the regulatory function of miR-424-5p on NSCLC growth, DDP resistance, and related molecules. Interestingly, miR-424-5p was markedly enriched in A549/DDP cell-derived exosomes than in A549 cell-derived exosomes, and TP53 down-regulated miR-424-5p expression in A549/DDP cell-derived exosomes. Conclusion DDP-resistant cell-derived exosome miR-424-5p contributes to NSCLC growth and DDP resistance by targeting SOCS5 and SOCS6 to activate JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/AKT pathways, which are blocked by TP53.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tissue-based proteomic studies of colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis have delivered fragmented results, with very few therapeutic targets and prognostic biomarkers moving beyond the discovery phase. This situation is likely due to the difficulties in obtaining and analyzing large numbers of patient-derived metastatic samples, the own heterogeneity of CRC, and technical limitations in proteomics discovery. As an alternative, metastatic CRC cell lines provide a flexible framework to investigate the underlying mechanisms and network biology of metastasis for target discovery. AREAS COVERED In this perspective, we comment on different in-depth proteomic studies of metastatic versus non-metastatic CRC cell lines. Identified metastasis-related proteins are introduced and discussed according to the spatial location in different cellular fractions, with special emphasis on membrane/adhesion proteins, secreted proteins, and nuclear factors, including miRNAs associated with liver metastasis. Moreover, we analyze the biological significance and potential therapeutic applications of the identified liver metastasis-related proteins. EXPERT OPINION The combination of protein discovery and functional analysis is the only way to accelerate the progress to clinical translation of the proteomic-derived findings in a relatively fast pace. Patient-derived organoids represent a promising alternative to patient tissues and cell lines, but further optimizations are still required for achieving solid and reproducible results.

Abstract
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short noncoding RNA implicated in the pathogenesis of obesity. One cause of obesity is excess exposure to the saturated fatty acid palmitate that can alter miRNA levels in the periphery. Palmitate also promotes obesity by acting on the hypothalamus, the central coordinator of energy homeostasis, to dysregulate hypothalamic feeding neuropeptides and induce ER stress and inflammatory signaling. We hypothesized that palmitate would alter hypothalamic miRNAs that control genes involved in energy homeostasis thereby contributing to the obesity-promoting effects of palmitate. We found that palmitate upregulated 20 miRNAs and downregulated six miRNAs in the orexigenic NPY/AgRP-expressing mHypoE-46 cell line. We focused on delineating the roles of miR-2137 and miR-503-5p, as they were strongly up- and downregulated by palmitate, respectively. Overexpression of miR-2137 increased Npy mRNA levels and downregulated Esr1 levels, while increasing C/ebpβ and Atf3 mRNA. Inhibiting miR-2137 had the opposite effect, except on Npy, which was unchanged. The most downregulated miRNA by palmitate, miR-503-5p, negatively regulated Npy mRNA levels. Exposure to the unsaturated fatty acids oleate or docosahexaenoic acid completely or partially blocked the effects of palmitate on miR-2137 and miR-503-5p as well as Npy, Agrp, Esr1, C/ebpβ and Atf3. MicroRNAs may therefore contribute to palmitate actions in dysregulating NPY/AgRP neurons. Effectively combating the deleterious effects of palmitate is crucial to help prevent or reduce the impact of obesity.

Tumor Suppressor miRNA-503 Inhibits Cell Invasion in Head and Neck Cancer through the Wnt Signaling Pathway via the WNT3A/MMP Molecular Axis. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:ijms232415900. [PMID: 36555553 PMCID: PMC9786678 DOI: 10.3390/ijms232415900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the fifth most common cancer worldwide, and its incidence and death rates have been consistently high throughout the past decades. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have recently gained significant attention because of their role in the regulation of a variety of biological processes via post-transcriptional silencing mechanisms. Previously, we determined a specific profile of miRNAs associated with HNC using a miRNA microarray analysis. Of the 23 miRNAs with highly altered expression in HNC cells, miR-503 was the most significantly downregulated miRNA. In this study, we confirmed that miR-503 acts as a tumor suppressor, as our results showed decreased levels of miR-503 in cancer cells and patients with HNC. We further characterized the role of miR-503 in the malignant functions of HNC. Although there was a minimal effect on cell growth, miR-503 was found to inhibit cellular invasion significantly. Algorithm-based studies identified multiple potential target genes and pathways associated with oncogenic mechanisms. The candidate target gene, WNT3A, was confirmed to be downregulated by miR-503 at both the mRNA and protein levels and validated by a reporter assay. Furthermore, miR-503 modulated multiple invasion-associated genes, including matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), through the Wnt downstream signaling pathway. Overall, this study demonstrates that miR-503 suppresses HNC malignancy by inhibiting cell invasion through the Wnt signaling pathway via the WNT3A/MMP molecular axis. The modulation of miR-503 may be a novel therapeutic approach to intervene in cancer invasion.

Abstract
Background Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most common malignant tumor in men worldwide. MiRNAs have been reported to play significant roles in prognosis prediction for patients with malignant tumors. Methods The survival-related miRNAs (sDMIRs) were identified by Cox regression analysis. A risk score model (RSM) was established based on three sDMIRs. The expression levels of sDMIRs in cell lines and clinical samples were detected via quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The correlations between sDMIRs and clinicopathological characteristics of PCa patients were evaluated using the chi-square test and Fisher's exact probability method. Results Four sDMIRs were remarkably related to the prognosis of PCa patients based on univariate Cox analysis, of which miR-10a-5p, miR-20a-5p, and miR-508-3p were used to establish the RSM. The OS in the low-risk group was better than that in the high-risk group. In the verification of various prostate cell lines and clinical samples from 162 PCa patients, the prominently higher expression of miR-10a-5p and miR-20a-5p and lower expression of miR-508-3p were detected in PCa cell lines and tumor tissues, especially the more advanced T-stage. Besides, the higher expression of miR-20a-5p and miR-10a-5p was significantly correlated to the higher level of PSA, Gleason score, more advanced T-stage, and distant metastasis status. Conclusion We identify and validate the clinical significance of three sDMIRs and establish a verified RSM to evaluate the prognosis for PCa patients. The findings not only provide a reliable tool for clinical decision-makers to evaluate patients' prognosis but also offer a novel perspective into the field of biomarker identification.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer (OC) is one of the most common and fatal types of gynecological cancer. OC is usually detected at the advanced stages of the disease, making it highly lethal. miRNAs are single-stranded, small non-coding RNAs with an approximate size ranging around 22 nt. Interestingly, a considerable proportion of miRNAs are organized in clusters with miRNA genes placed adjacent to one another, getting transcribed together to result in miRNA clusters (MCs). MCs comprise two or more miRNAs that follow the same orientation during transcription. Abnormal expression of the miRNA cluster has been identified as one of the key drivers in OC. MC exists both as tumor-suppressive and oncogenic clusters and has a significant role in OC pathogenesis by facilitating cancer cells to acquire various hallmarks. The present review summarizes the regulation and biological function of MCs in OC. The review also highlights the utility of abnormally expressed MCs in the clinical management of OC.
