ABSTRACT
Aims:
Pyrotinib is a newly developed irreversible pan-ErbB receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor for treatment of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-positive cancers, and clinic trials of pyrotinib in treatment of HER2-positive gastric cancer (GC) are underway. Exosomes are tiny vesicles secreted by cancer cells and take essential roles in the progression of carcinoma. Whether pyrotinib application has any effect on the cancer cell-released exosomes has not been studied. The aim of our work was to address if pyrotinib treatment impacts the effect of HER2-positive GC cell-derived exosomes on endothelial cell (EC) progression.Methods:
Isolation of exosomes released by HER2-positive NCI-N87 and MKN45 lines after pyrotinib treatment was performed. Then, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with different concentrations of exosomes to address their proliferation by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-5-(3-carboxymethoxyphenyl)-2-(4-sulfophenyl)-2H-tetrazolium (MTS). Effect of pyrotinib-treated exosomes at concentration of 10 µg/mL was compared to that without pyrotinib treatment over 96-hr time course. Transwell assay and wound-healing assay were carried out by incubating with exosomes released by NCI-N87 and MKN45 cells with/without pyrotinib treatment over 24-hr time course. The aforementioned experiments were done under same conditions in order to evaluate the combined effect of apatinib and pyrotinib on HUVEC motility and invasive capacity.Results:
We showed that HUVEC proliferation, motility and invasive capacity were further enhanced upon incubation with exosomes released by pyrotinib-treated GC cell lines, compared to those without pyrotinib treatment. Significantly, this effect was counteracted by the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR)-2 inhibitor apatinib which inhibits EC progression.Conclusion:
Our study suggests that pyrotinib application on HER2-positive GC produces stronger exosomes that promote the proliferation and motility of vascular ECs, and combination of pyrotinib with apatinib provides potentially better therapy.
