ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Sorafenib is a chemotherapeutic agent used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, its clinical response rates are often low. Tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs) have been implicated in tumour resistance. The relationship between TAMs-derived exosomes and primary resistance to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma is unclear.METHODS:
The study analysed RNA-SEQ data from TCGA-LIHC to explore the relationship between TAMs and sorafenib IC50. THP-1-induced M2 macrophages were used as a model to investigate the relationship between M2 macrophage exosomes and primary resistance to sorafenib in hepatocellular carcinoma cells using apoptosis, colony generation, cell viability and dual luciferase.RESULTS:
M2 macrophage score and sorafenib IC50 were positively correlated in hepatocellular carcinoma patients, M2 macrophage exosomes promoted sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and M2-exo-miR-200c-3p facilitated the development of sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma cells by mediating the activation of PI3K/AKT.CONCLUSION:
We propose and demonstrate for the first time that M2 macrophage exosomes promote sorafenib resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma, providing a new perspective for the clinical treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma patients.Palavras-chave
