We compared noncancerous and lung-adenocarcinoma human samples for hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1A), microRNA-210-3p (mir-210-3p), and CCL2 levels. Mechanistic studies were performed on lung adenocarcinoma cell lines and 3D tumor spheroids to understand the role of hypoxia-induced miR-210-3p in the regulation of CCL2 expression and macrophage polarization. HIF-1Α stabilization increases miR-210-3p levels in lung adenocarcinoma and impairs monocyte infiltration by inhibiting CCL2 expression. Mechanistically, miR-210-3p directly binds to the 3'untranslated region (UTR) of CCL2 mRNA and silences it. Suppressing miR-210-3p substantially downregulates the effect of hypoxia on CCL2 expression. Monocyte migration is significantly hampered in miR-210-3p mimic-transfected HIF-1A silenced cancer cells. In contrast, inhibition of miR-210-3p in HIF-1A-overexpressed cells markedly restored monocyte migration, highlighting a direct link between the miR-210-3p level and tumor monocyte burden. Moreover, miR-210-3p inhibition in 3D tumor spheroids promotes monocyte recruitment and skewing towards an antitumor M1 phenotype. Anti-hsa-miR-210-3p-locked nucleic acid (LNA) delivery in a lung tumor xenograft zebrafish model caused tumor regression, suggesting that miR-210-3p could be a promising target for immunomodulatory therapeutic strategies against lung adenocarcinoma.</p>","PeriodicalId":51134,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11077004/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44641332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Phosphoproteomics provides a direct read-out of aberrant signaling and the resultant clinically relevant phenotype. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics and phosphoproteomics were applied to 42 PDAC tumors. Data encompassed over 19 936 phosphoserine or phosphothreonine (pS/T; in 5412 phosphoproteins) and 1208 phosphotyrosine (pY; in 501 phosphoproteins) sites and a total of 3756 proteins. Proteome data identified three distinct subtypes with tumor intrinsic and stromal features. Subsequently, three phospho-subtypes were apparent: two tumor intrinsic (Phos1/2) and one stromal (Phos3), resembling known PDAC molecular subtypes. Kinase activity was analyzed by the Integrative iNferred Kinase Activity (INKA) scoring. Phospho-subtypes displayed differential phosphorylation signals and kinase activity, such as FGR and GSK3 activation in Phos1, SRC kinase family and EPHA2 in Phos2, and EGFR, INSR, MET, ABL1, HIPK1, JAK, and PRKCD in Phos3. Kinase activity analysis of an external PDAC cohort supported our findings and underscored the importance of PI3K/AKT and ERK pathways, among others. Interestingly, unfavorable patient prognosis correlated with higher RTK, PAK2, STK10, and CDK7 activity and high proliferation, whereas long survival was associated with MYLK and PTK6 activity, which was previously unknown. Subtype-associated activity profiles can guide therapeutic combination approaches in tumor and stroma-enriched tissues, and emphasize the critical role of parallel signaling pathways. In addition, kinase activity profiling identifies potential disease markers with prognostic significance.","PeriodicalId":51134,"journal":{"name":"Molecular Oncology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":6.6,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140674113","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
