LSD1 modulates the bone metastasis of breast cancer cells through hnRNPA2B1-mediated sorting of exosomal miRNAs.

ABSTRACT: 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.

Project description:BackgroundExosomal microRNAs (exomiRs), transported via exosomes, play a pivotal role in intercellular communication. In cancer, exomiRs influence tumor progression by regulating key cellular processes such as proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Their role in mediating communication between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment highlights their significance as potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets.MethodologyIn this study, we aimed to characterize the role of exomiRs in influencing the pre-metastatic niche (PMN). Across 7 tumor types, including 4 cell lines and three tumors, we extracted high confidence exomiRs (Log FC >= 2 in exosomes relative to control) and their targets (experimentally identified and targeted by at least 2 exomiRs). Subsequently, we identified enriched pathways and selected the top 100 high-confidence exomiR targets based on the frequency of their appearance in the enriched pathways. These top 100 targets were consistently used throughout the analysis.ResultsCancer cell line and tumor derived ExomiRs have significantly higher GC content relative to genomic background. Pathway enriched among the top exomiR targets included general cancer-associated processes such as "wound healing" and "regulation of epithelial cell proliferation", as well as cancer-specific processes, such as "regulation of angiogenesis in kidney" (KIRC), "ossification" in lung (LUAD), and "positive regulation of cytokine production" in pancreatic cancer (PAAD). Similarly, 'Pathways in cancer' and 'MicroRNAs in cancer' ranked among the top 10 enriched KEGG pathways in all cancer types. ExomiR targets were not only enriched for cancer-specific tumor suppressor genes (TSG) but are also downregulated in pre-metastatic niche formed in lungs compared to normal lung. Motif analysis shows high similarity among motifs identified from exomiRs across cancer types. Our analysis recapitulates exomiRs associated with M2 macrophage differentiation and chemoresistance such as miR-21 and miR-222-3p, regulating signaling pathways such as PTEN/PI3/Akt, NF-κB, etc. Cox regression indicated that exomiR targets are significantly associated with overall survival of patients in TCGA. Lastly, a Support Vector Machine (SVM) model using exomiR target gene expression classified responders and non-responders to neoadjuvant chemotherapy with an AUROC of 0.96 (in LUAD), higher than other previously reported gene signatures.ConclusionOur study characterizes the pivotal role of exomiRs in shaping the PMN in diverse cancers, underscoring their diagnostic and therapeutic potential.
