Abstract
Long non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which do not encode proteins, regulate cell proliferation, tumor angiogenesis, and metastasis and are closely associated with the development, progression, and metastasis of many cancers. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) in the tumor microenvironment play an important role in cancer progression. The Hippo signaling pathway regulates cell proliferation and apoptosis, maintains tissue and organ size, and homeostasis of the internal environment of organisms. Abnormal expression of Yes-associated protein (YAP), the Hippo signaling pathway key component, is widely observed in various malignancies. Further, TAM, lncRNA, and YAP are currently valuable targets for cancer immunotherapy. In this review, we have logically summarized recent studies, clarified the close association between the three factors and tumorigenesis, and analyzed the outlook of tumor immunotherapy.

Tumor-Derived Exosomal Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type O Polarizes Macrophage to Suppress Breast Tumor Cell Invasion and Migration. Front Cell Dev Biol 2021; 9:703537. [PMID: 34650968 PMCID: PMC8505750 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2021.703537] [Citation(s) in RCA: 17] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Tumor-derived exosomes, containing multiple nucleic acids and proteins, have been implicated to participate in the interaction between tumor cells and microenvironment. However, the functional involvement of phosphatases in tumor-derived exosomes is not fully understood. We and others previously demonstrated that protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O (PTPRO) acts as a tumor suppressor in multiple cancer types. In addition, its role in tumor immune microenvironment remains elusive. Bioinformatical analyses revealed that PTPRO was closely associated with immune infiltration, and positively correlated to M1-like macrophages, but negatively correlated to M2-like macrophages in breast cancer tissues. Co-cultured with PTPRO-overexpressing breast cancer cells increased the proportion of M1-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) while decreased that of M2-like TAMs. Further, we observed that tumor-derived exosomal PTPRO induced M1-like macrophage polarization, and regulated the corresponding functional phenotypes. Moreover, tumor cell-derived exosomal PTPRO inhibited breast cancer cell invasion and migration, and inactivated STAT signaling in macrophages. Our data suggested that exosomal PTPRO inhibited breast cancer invasion and migration by modulating macrophage polarization. Anti-tumoral effect of exosomal PTPRO was mediated by inactivating STAT family in macrophages. These findings highlight a novel mechanism of tumor invasion regulated by tumor-derived exosomal tyrosine phosphatase, which is of translational potential for the therapeutic strategy against breast cancer.

Abstract
The phenotypic switch in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) mediates immunity escape of cancer. However, the underlying mechanisms in the TAM phenotypic switch have not been systematically elucidated. In this study, long noncoding RNA (lncRNA)-Xist, CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein (C/EBP)α, and Kruppel-like factor 6 (KLF6) were upregulated, whereas microRNA (miR)-101 was downregulated in M1 macrophages-type (M1). Knockdown of Xist or overexpression of miR-101 in M1 could induce M1-to-M2 macrophage-type (M2) conversion to promote cell proliferation and migration of breast and ovarian cancer by inhibiting C/EBPα and KLF6 expression. Furthermore, miR-101 could combine with both Xist and C/EBPα and KLF6 through the same microRNA response element (MRE) predicted by bioinformatics and verified by luciferase reporter assays. Moreover, we found that miR-101 knockdown restored the decreased M1 marker and the increased M2 marker expression and also reversed the promotion of proliferation and migration of human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and human ovarian cancer (OV) cells caused by silencing Xist. Generally, the present study indicates that Xist could mediate macrophage polarization to affect cell proliferation and migration of breast and ovarian cancer by competing with miR-101 to regulate C/EBPα and KLF6 expression. The promotion of Xist expression in M1 macrophages and inhibition of miR-101 expression in M2 macrophages might play an important role in inhibiting breast and ovarian tumor proliferation and migration abilities.

[PMID: 31760731 PMCID: PMC6939657 DOI: 10.14348/molcells.2019.0188] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Revised: 11/03/2019] [Accepted: 11/06/2019] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-15 is an essential immune-modulator with high potential for use in cancer treatment. Natural IL-15 has a low biological potency because of its short half-life and difficulties in mass-production. IL-15Rα, a member of the IL-15 receptor complex, is famous for its high affinity to IL-15 and its ability to lengthen the half-life of IL-15. We have double-transfected IL-15 and its truncated receptor IL-15Rα into CT26 colon cancer cells to target them for intracellular assembly. The secreted IL-15:IL-15Rα complexes were confirmed in ELISA and Co-IP experiments. IL-15:IL15Rα secreting clones showed a higher anti-tumor effect than IL-15 secreting clones. Furthermore, we also evaluated the vaccine and therapeutic efficacy of the whole cancercell vaccine using mitomycin C (MMC)-treated IL-15:IL15Rα secreting CT26 clones. Three sets of experiments were evaluated; (1) therapeutics, (2) vaccination, and (3) longterm protection. Wild-type CT26-bearing mice treated with a single dose of MMC-inactivated secreted IL-15:IL-15Rα clones prolonged survival compared to the control group. Survival of MMC-inactivated IL-15:IL-15Rα clone-vaccinated mice (without any further adjuvant) exceeded up to 100%. This protection effect even lasted for at least three months after the immunization. Secreted IL-15:IL-15Rα clones challenging trigger anti-tumor response via CD4+ T, CD8+ T, and natural killer (NK) cell-dependent cytotoxicity. Our result suggested that cell-based vaccine secreting IL-15:IL-15Rα, may offer the new tools for immunotherapy to treat cancer.
