Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) which play a pivotal role in brain tumor progression by mediating intercellular communication within the inflamed tumor microenvironment (TME). EVs' cargo transports biomolecules that promote tumor progression, immune evasion, and resistance to therapies. While Hippo inhibitors play a significant role in mitigating cancer inflammation, their specific impact on EVs cargo remains unknown.
Methods: Human grade IV U87 GBM-derived cells were cultured and EVs isolated from the conditioned media of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α-primed cells. Total RNA was extracted using TRIzol™, and differential gene expression assessed through gene arrays and validated by RT-qPCR. Protein cell and EVs lysates were used for immunoblotting. 3D mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) in vitro vasculogenic mimicry (VM) was assessed using Cultrex matrices.
Results: Our study shows that U87 cells are responsive to pro-inflammatory stimulation by TNFα as the phosphorylation status of ERK, IκB, and NFκB increased. Among the Hippo pathway inhibitors tested, VT107 inhibited both the TNFα-induced phosphorylation, induction of the downstream Hippo pathway CYR61, and cargo of secreted EVs as assessed upon gene array screens. Pro-inflammatory genes that were reduced by VT107 in EVs included, among others, COX2, IL6, IL1B, and several members of the CCL, CXCL, and Interleukin/Interleukin receptors family. EVs isolated from VT107-treated TNFα-primed U87 cells had decreased paracrine regulation of MSC in vitro VM.
Conclusions: By inhibiting the Hippo pathway and TNFα-induced pro-inflammatory cargo of GBM-derived EVs, our data support VT107 as a potential candidate to inhibit tumor-promoting processes involved in therapy resistance such as paracrine induction of MSC-mediated VM.
期刊介绍:
Cell Communication and Signaling (CCS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal that focuses on cellular signaling pathways in both normal and pathological conditions. It publishes original research, reviews, and commentaries, welcoming studies that utilize molecular, morphological, biochemical, structural, and cell biology approaches. CCS also encourages interdisciplinary work and innovative models, including in silico, in vitro, and in vivo approaches, to facilitate investigations of cell signaling pathways, networks, and behavior.
Starting from January 2019, CCS is proud to announce its affiliation with the International Cell Death Society. The journal now encourages submissions covering all aspects of cell death, including apoptotic and non-apoptotic mechanisms, cell death in model systems, autophagy, clearance of dying cells, and the immunological and pathological consequences of dying cells in the tissue microenvironment.
