| Sumario: | Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play crucial roles in intercellular communication. miRNAs derived from EVs emerge as promising diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets in a variety of malignancies. Tremendous studies have revealed the function of miRNAs derived from EVs in tumorigenesis, metastasis and other aspects. The mechanism of action of EV-derived miRNAs, however, in ovarian cancer remains largely unknown. In this study, EVs were enriched from the ovarian cancer cell lines. EVs as a whole could promote cell proliferation, invasion and new vasculature formation. However, the down-regulated EV-derived miR-320a was demonstrated to potentially suppress tumorigenesis, metastasis and angiogenesis. Moreover, EV-derived miR-320a has been proved to directly regulate a previously unknown target, ZC3H12B. An unreported role of ZC3H12B in promoting ovarian cancer cell proliferation has been elucidated and miR-320a could mediate the expression of ZC3H12B, thereby inhibiting the downstream response. As for the practical clinic values, lower expression of EV-derived miR-320a correlates with shorter survival period, indicating that EV-derived miR-320a may also serve as a prognostic biomarker in ovarian cancer. This research provides new insight into the molecular mechanism of EV-derived miR-320a in ovarian cancer and may provide new therapeutic and prognostic strategies for ovarian cancer treatment. |
