Adipose stem cell exosomes, stimulated by pro-inflammatory factors, enhance immune evasion in triple-negative breast cancer by modulating the HDAC6/STAT3/PD-L1 pathway through the transporter UCHL1.
Background: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterized by high invasiveness and metastasis potential. Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase L1 (UCHL1) is strongly associated with breast cancer progression, although the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown.
Methods: The gene expression profiles of TNBC samples were downloaded from the TCGA database, and ubiquitination enzymes related to immune regulation were screened. UCHL1 expression in the TNBC tissues and in adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) stimulated in vitro with pro-inflammatory cytokines were analyzed. Exosomes were isolated from these stimulated ADSCs and transfected with scrambled (si-NC) or UCHL1-specific (si-UCHL1) siRNA constructs. TNBC cells were treated with the ADSCs-derived exosomes (ADSCs-Exos) and then co-cultured with macrophages or T cells. Finally, the tumorigenic potential of the ADSCs-Exos was evaluated by injecting the exosomes into mice bearing TNBC xenografts.
Results: UCHL1 was highly expressed in TNBC tissues and the stimulated ADSCs. The exosomes derived from stimulated ADSCs increased the viability and migration capacity of TNBC cells in vitro, and significantly increased Ki-67 expression through UCHL1. Furthermore, ADSCs-Exos induced M2 polarization of THP-1 monocytes by upregulating CD206 and Arg-1, and downregulating TNF-α and iNOS, and also decreased the proportion of CD3+CD8+ T cells. Mechanistically, UCHL1 regulated the STAT3 and PD-L1 signaling pathways through HDAC6. Exosomes derived from the control and cytokine-stimulated ADSCs also promoted tumor growth in vivo, and increased the expression of UCHL1, CD206, HDAC6, STAT3, and PD-L1. However, UCHL1 knockdown reversed the pro-tumorigenic effects of the ADSCs-derived exosomes in vivo and in vitro.
Conclusion: Pro-inflammatory factors (IFN-γ + TNF-α) stimulating ADSCs-Exos enhance immune evasion in triple-negative breast cancer by regulating the HDAC6/STAT3/PD-L1 pathway via UCHL1 transporter. Thus, UCHL1 inhibition may enhance the response of TNBC to immunotherapy.
期刊介绍：
Cancer Cell International publishes articles on all aspects of cancer cell biology, originating largely from, but not limited to, work using cell culture techniques.
The journal focuses on novel cancer studies reporting data from biological experiments performed on cells grown in vitro, in two- or three-dimensional systems, and/or in vivo (animal experiments). These types of experiments have provided crucial data in many fields, from cell proliferation and transformation, to epithelial-mesenchymal interaction, to apoptosis, and host immune response to tumors.
Cancer Cell International also considers articles that focus on novel technologies or novel pathways in molecular analysis and on epidemiological studies that may affect patient care, as well as articles reporting translational cancer research studies where in vitro discoveries are bridged to the clinic. As such, the journal is interested in laboratory and animal studies reporting on novel biomarkers of tumor progression and response to therapy and on their applicability to human cancers.
