化疗耐药是癌症治疗的主要障碍,确定新的药物目标来逆转这种现象是至关重要的。已在包括卵巢癌和前列腺癌模型的各种癌症模型中显示了外泌体介导的药物抗性的传递。在这项研究中,我们旨在探讨外泌体miRNA转移在慢性粒细胞白血病耐药中的作用。为此,首先从伊马替尼敏感(K562S)和耐药(K562R)慢性粒细胞白血病(CML)细胞中分离外泌体,命名为Sexo和Rexo,分别。然后,miRNA微阵列用于比较K562S的miRNA谱,K562R,Sexo,Rexo,和Rexo处理的K562S细胞。根据我们的结果,miR-125b-5p和miR-99a-5p在抗性细胞中表达增加,它们的外泌体,和Rexo处理的敏感细胞与其敏感的对应物相比。另一方面,miR-210-3p和miR-193b-3p被确定为与它们的敏感对应物相比在抗性细胞及其外泌体中表现出降低的表达谱的两种miRNA。基因靶标,信号通路,并通过TargetScan对这些miRNA进行富集分析,KEGG,大卫。通过STRING和Cytoscape软件分析蛋白质水平上候选基因之间的潜在相互作用。我们的发现揭示了CCR5,GRK2,EDN1,ARRB1,P2RY2,LAMC2,PAK3,PAK4和GIT2是新的基因靶标,可能在外泌体伊马替尼抗性转移以及mTOR中起作用。STAT3、MCL1、LAMC1和KRAS已经与伊马替尼耐药相关。与Sexo相比,MDR1mRNA在Rexo中以及与K562S细胞相比,用Rexo处理的K562S细胞中表现出更高的表达,这可能表明MDR1mRNA的外泌体转移。
Chemotherapy resistance is a major obstacle in cancer therapy, and identifying novel druggable targets to reverse this phenomenon is essential. The exosome-mediated transmittance of drug resistance has been shown in various cancer models including ovarian and prostate cancer models. In this study, we aimed to investigate the role of exosomal miRNA transfer in chronic myeloid leukemia drug resistance. For this purpose, firstly exosomes were isolated from
imatinib sensitive (K562S) and resistant (K562R) chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells and named as Sexo and Rexo, respectively. Then, miRNA microarray was used to compare miRNA profiles of K562S, K562R, Sexo, Rexo, and Rexo-treated K562S cells. According to our results, miR-125b-5p and miR-99a-5p exhibited increased expression in resistant cells, their exosomes, and Rexo-treated sensitive cells compared to their sensitive counterparts. On the other hand, miR-210-3p and miR-193b-3p were determined to be the two miRNAs which exhibited decreased expression profile in resistant cells and their exosomes compared to their sensitive counterparts. Gene targets, signaling pathways, and enrichment analysis were performed for these miRNAs by TargetScan, KEGG, and DAVID. Potential interactions between gene candidates at the protein level were analyzed via STRING and Cytoscape software. Our findings revealed CCR5, GRK2, EDN1, ARRB1, P2RY2, LAMC2, PAK3, PAK4, and GIT2 as novel gene targets that may play roles in exosomal
imatinib resistance transfer as well as mTOR, STAT3, MCL1, LAMC1, and KRAS which are already linked to
imatinib resistance. MDR1 mRNA exhibited higher expression in Rexo compared to Sexo as well as in K562S cells treated with Rexo compared to K562S cells which may suggest exosomal transfer of MDR1 mRNA.
