ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
This study clarified the function of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (hUCMSC)-derived extracellular vesicle (EV)-enclosed miR-655-3p in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).METHODS:
A Chi-square test and the Kaplan-Meier estimator were used to analyze the prognosis of ESCC in relation to the expression of miR-655-3p. ESCC cells were incubated with PBS or hUCMSC-derived EVs (hUCMSC-EVs) in the conditions of gene modification, after which the malignant behaviors of ESCC cells were assessed and the molecular interactions were determined. The effect of hUCMSC-derived EV-miR-655-3p was also investigated in a nude mouse model of ESCC.RESULTS:
Low expression of miR-655-3p indicated poor prognosis of ESCC. hUCMSC-EVs suppressed the malignant behaviors of ESCC cells and the growth and liver metastasis of transplanted tumors. Inhibition of miR-655-3p in hUCMSCs impaired the therapeutic effect of hUCMSC-EVs. LMO4, targeted by miR-655-3p, activated the transcription of HIF-1α by sequestering HDAC2 from HIF-1α promoter. Knockdown of LMO4 suppressed ESCC cell activities, while overexpression of HIF-1α counteracted the tumor suppressive effect of LMO4 knockdown.CONCLUSION:
miR-655-3p enclosed in hUCMSC-derived EVs inhibits ESCC progression partially by inactivating HIF-1α via the LMO4/HDAC2 axis.Palavras-chave
