Abstract
Background: Glioma is a malignant tumor associated with poorer prognosis. This study aims to elucidate the mechanism of LINC01018/miR-182-5p/Rab27B axis in PD-L1-mediated CD8+ T cell suppression in the progression of gliomas.
Methods: LINC01018, miR-182-5p, and Rab27B expression levels in glioblastoma tissues were measured. The proportion of infiltrating macrophages and monocytes and CD8+ T cell function were assessed. The relationship between miR-182-5p and Rab27B was analyzed. Glioma cell activity, invasion, and migration were measured. The expression of E-cadherin, N-cadherin, Vimentin, PD-L1, iNOS, and CD206 was determined. Glioma cell-derived EVs were isolated, and the co-localization of Rab27B and PD-L1 and the binding of Rab27B to PD-L1 were analyzed. The endocytosis of EVs by microglia was assayed. The impact of LINC01018/miR-182-5p/Rab27B on glioma growth was observed. The function of macrophages and CD8+ T cells in tumors was analyzed.
Results: Rab27B was downregulated, and infiltrating macrophages and monocytes were increased in glioblastoma. miR-182-5p inhibited Rab27B expression. Rab27B knockdown reverses the inhibitory effect of LINC01018 overexpression on glioma cell growth. Glioma cells-derived EVs with low Rab27B expression carried more PD-L1 to increase PD-L1 expression and M2 polarization in microglia. LINC01018 overexpression reduced macrophages in orthotopic tumors. CD8+ T cell numbers showed no significant difference, but TIM-3 increased and IFN-γ decreased. miR-182-5p inhibition enhanced the therapeutic effect of anti-PD-L1, which was reversed after glioma cell-derived EVs.
Conclusion: LINC01018 promotes PD-L1-mediated CD8+ T cell suppression via the miR-182-5p/Rab27B axis in glioma cell-derived EVs, thereby contributing to immune escape in gliomas.
期刊介绍:
Biology Direct serves the life science research community as an open access, peer-reviewed online journal, providing authors and readers with an alternative to the traditional model of peer review. Biology Direct considers original research articles, hypotheses, comments, discovery notes and reviews in subject areas currently identified as those most conducive to the open review approach, primarily those with a significant non-experimental component.
