Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of exosome-derived miR-1246 on metastasis and autophagy of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC).Methods The exosomes of ESCC cells were extracted by exosome extraction kit,the morphology was observed under electron microscope,the particle size was detected by nano-particle size analyzer,and the expression of exosome markers TSG101 and Calnexin was detected by Western blot.The RNA of exosomes of ESCC cells and normal esophageal epithelial cells were sequenced to analyze the differentially expressed miRNAs,which were analyzed by KEGG Pathway enrichment.The expression of miR-1246 in tumor tissues and paracancer tissues of 155 patients with ESCC was evaluated by transcriptome sequencing.The effect of miR-1246 on the migration ability of ESCC cells was detected by Transwell assay and the effect on autophagy was detected by Western blot.Results The exosomes derived from ESCC cells were intact in shape and similar to spherical vesicle-like structure with the particle size of 50～80 nm.The exosome marker TSG101 protein was positive and Calnexin protein was negative.There were 59 common differentially expressed miRNAs between exosomes of ESCC cells and normal esophageal epithelial cells.Exosome miR-1246 was highly expressed in ESCC cells,and the differentially expressed miRNAs were mainly enriched in autophagy metabolic pathway.Exosome miR-1246 was highly expressed in cancer tissues of patients with ESCC.Overexpression of miR-1246 significantly promoted the migration and autophagy of ESCC cells(t=4.119 and 48.150,P <0.05 and <0.001,respectively).Inhibition of miR-1246 expression inhibited the migration and autophagy of ESCC cells(t=9.067 and 51.270,P <0.01 and <0.001,respectively).Conclusion miR-1246 derived from exosomes can significantly affect the metastasis and autophagy of ESCC cells.
