The multiple functions of miR-574-5p in the neuroblastoma tumor microenvironment.

ABSTRACT: Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor in childhood and arises from neural crest cells of the developing sympathetic nervous system. Prostaglandin E₂ (PGE₂) has been identified as a key pro-inflammatory mediator of the tumor microenvironment (TME) that promotes neuroblastoma progression. We report that the interaction between the microRNA miR-574-5p and CUG-binding protein 1 (CUGBP1) induces the expression of microsomal prostaglandin E₂ synthase 1 (mPGES-1) in neuroblastoma cells, which contributes to PGE₂ biosynthesis. PGE₂ in turn specifically induces the sorting of miR-574-5p into small extracellular vesicles (sEV) in neuroblastoma cell lines. sEV are one of the major players in intercellular communication in the
