Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)
Lung cancer (LC) is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Its progression is strongly enhanced by intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment (TME). One of the main players in intercellular communication is small extracellular vesicles (sEV). sEV transport various biological cargoes such as microRNAs (miRs), a class of small non-coding RNAs, and thus trigger diverse responses in recipient cells. In addition to sEV, inflammatory processes promote tumor progression. A key inflammatory mediator in LC is prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). It highly contributes to inflammation, angiogenesis, immune evasion, and proliferation in the TME. To date, a possible relationship between inflammatory mediators like PGE2 and miR content in sEV remains unknown. Hence, this study aimed to analyze the impact of PGE2 on miR sorting into sEV. In this context, special attention was paid to miR-574-5p because it was shown to regulate PGE2 biosynthesis in lung adenocarcinoma (AC) cells. An analysis of the two main LC subtypes AC and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) revealed different expression patterns of miR-574-5p and the PGE2-synthesizing enzyme microsomal prostaglandin E synthase 1 (mPGES-1) in LC tissue sections and 3D tumor models. Further, it was demonstrated that PGE2 induces the secretion of sEV-derived miR-574-5p in LC cells via the activation of E prostanoid (EP) receptors 1/3. PGE2 inhibition significantly reduced miR-574-5p secretion, indicating that PGE2 levels specifically modulate miR-574-5p sorting into sEV. An analysis of tetraspanins, membrane proteins abundant in sEV, revealed different compositions between AC- and SCC-derived sEV. Finally, sEV-derived miR-574-5p proved its physiological function by activating Toll-like receptors (TLR) 7/8 in AC cells and decreasing intracellular miR-574-5p, mPGES-1, and PGE2 levels. Thus, AC cells revealed a novel function for miR-574-5p which depends on miR transmission via sEV and stands in contrast to its intracellular role. Together, intracellular- and sEV-derived miR-574-5p prevent uncontrolled upregulation of PGE2 via a negative feedback loop. The findings of this study demonstrate for the first time that an inflammatory mediator, here PGE2, induces the sorting of a miR into sEV and that sEV not only transfer miRs to recipient cells but can also change their mode of action.
