RESUMO
Metastasis accounts for almost 90% of breast cancer-related fatalities, making it frequent malignancy and the main reason of tumor mortality globally among women. LSD1 is a histone demethylase, which plays an important role in breast cancer. In order to explore the effect of LSD1 on invasion and migration of breast cancer, we treated breast cancer cells with MCF7 and T47D exosomes knocked down by LSD1, and the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells were significantly enhanced. This phenomenon indicates that LSD1 can inhibit the invasion and migration of breast cancer cells. miR-1290 expression was downregulated in LSD1 knockdown MCF7 exosomes. By analyzing the database of miR-1290 target gene NAT1, we verified that miR-1290 could regulate the expression of NAT1. These data provide fresh insights into the biology of breast cancer therapy by demonstrating how the epigenetic factor LSD1 stimulates the breast cancer cells' invasion and migration via controlling exosomal miRNA.

Bone metastasis is a key contributor to morbidity and mortality of breast cancer patients. We have previously shown that exosomal miRNAs derived from LSD1 knockdown (KD) breast cancer cells inhibit osteoblast differentiation and promote osteoclast differentiation. However, how LSD1 regulates exosomal miRNAs and whether miRNAs promote bone metastasis through the formation of pre-metastatic niches remains unclear. In vivo experiments demonstrates that exosomes derived from LSD1 KD breast cancer cells significantly promoted bone metastasis. To explore the mechanism underlying the effect of LSD1 on exosomes in breast cancer cells, exosomal and cellular miRNAs from control, LSD1 KD, and rescue cells were sequenced. Interestingly, approximately 80% of LSD1-associated miRNAs were downregulated in exosomes from LSD1 KD cells. The consensus sequence UAGGGC, was identified in many miRNAs downregulated in LSD1 KD exosomes. We found that hnRNPA2B1 regulated the exosomal sorting of miR-6881-3p and some other miRNAs. LSD1 deficiency reduced hnRNPA2B1 expression in breast cancer cells by decreasing the level of H3K9me2 demethylation in the promoter region of the hnRNPA2B1 gene. Our study revealed that LSD1 plays a crucial role in the regulation of exosomal sorting of miRNA.
