Abstract

Background and aim

Several microRNAs (miRNAs) are differentially expressed and serve as tumor suppressors in glioblastoma (GBM). The present study aimed to elucidate the function of exosomal microRNA‐4731-5p (miR-4731-5p) from adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) in the activity of human GBM cell lines.

Method

First, GBM-related miRNAs, their expression, and potential target genes and cytokines of miR-4731-5p were identified using bioinformatic datasets. Subsequently, purified AD-MSCs were transfected with a miRNA-4731‐5p expression plasmid, and exosomes were isolated and characterized. Next, the transfection process was confirmed and the 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) of the overexpressed exosomal miRNA-4731‐5p was inhibited for cancer cells. The probable anticancer action of exosomal miRNA-4731‐5p on U‐87 and U‐251 GBM cell lines was verified by flow cytometry, DAPI staining, cell cycle, real-time PCR, and wound healing assays.

Results

A concentration of 50 ng/mL of miRNA-4731-5p-transfected exosomes was the safe dose for anticancer settings. The results showed that the exosomal miR-4731-5p exerted an inhibitory effect on the cell cycle and migration and induced apoptosis in GBM cell lines by regulating the phosphoinositide-3-kinase-AKT (PI3K-AKT) and nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB) signaling pathways.

Conclusion

This study reveals that the expression of exosomal miRNA-4731-5p has favorable antitumor properties for the treatment of GBM cell lines and may be a fundamental therapeutic option for this type of brain tumor.

脂肪组织来源干细胞的外泌体 miRNA-4731-5p 对人类胶质母细胞瘤细胞的治疗作用

背景和目的：有几种微RNA（miRNA）在胶质母细胞瘤（GBM）中有不同程度的表达，并可作为肿瘤抑制因子。本研究旨在阐明来自脂肪组织间充质干细胞（AD-MSCs）的外泌体microRNA-4731-5p（miR-4731-5p）在人类GBM细胞系活性中的功能：方法：首先，利用生物信息数据集确定了与GBM相关的miRNA及其表达，以及miR-4731-5p的潜在靶基因和细胞因子。随后，用miRNA-4731-5p表达质粒转染纯化的AD-MSCs，并分离和鉴定外泌体。接下来，对转染过程进行了确认，并抑制了过表达的外泌体 miRNA-4731-5p 对癌细胞的 50% 抑制浓度（IC50）。通过流式细胞术、DAPI 染色、细胞周期、实时 PCR 和伤口愈合试验，验证了外泌体 miRNA-4731-5p 对 U-87 和 U-251 GBM 细胞系的可能抗癌作用：结果：miRNA-4731-5p转染的外泌体浓度为50纳克/毫升，是抗癌的安全剂量。结果表明，外泌体miR-4731-5p通过调节磷酸肌醇-3-激酶-AKT（PI3K-AKT）和核因子-kB（NF-kB）信号通路，对GBM细胞株的细胞周期和迁移产生抑制作用，并诱导细胞凋亡：本研究揭示了外泌体miRNA-4731-5p的表达在治疗GBM细胞系方面具有良好的抗肿瘤特性，可能成为这类脑肿瘤的基本治疗选择。
