Induction of multiple myeloma bone marrow stromal cell apoptosis by inhibiting extracellular vesicle miR-10a secretion.

ABSTRACT: Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) interact with multiple myeloma (MM) cells in the bone marrow and create a permissive microenvironment for MM cell proliferation and survival. In this study, we investigated the role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) from BMSCs derived from patients with MM (MM-BMSCs). EV-encapsulated miR-10a expression was high while intracellular miR-10a was low in MM-BMSCs. We therefore hypothesized that miR-10a was packaged into EVs that were actively released into the extracellular space. Inhibition of EV release resulted in accumulation of intracellular miR-10a, inhibition of cell proliferation, and induction of apoptosis in MM-BMSCs. In contrast, proliferation and apoptosis of BMSCs derived from healthy individuals were unaffected by inhibition of EV release. Furthermo
