Exosomes play an essential role in intercellular communication. Understanding the mechanism underlying the role of tumor stroma, especially cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), during chemoresistance would significantly contribute to the clinical application of chemotherapy agents.Results: In this study, we demonstrated that NSCLC-derived CAFs were innately resistant to cisplatin treatment and CAFs-conditioned medium significantly promoted the survival rate of NSCLC cells after cisplatin treatment. Additionally, CAFs-derived exosomes were taken up by NSCLC cells. Moreover, exosomal miRNA-130a was transferred from CAFs to recipient NSCLC cells and knockdown of miRNA-130a reversed the effect of CAFs-derived exosomes during chemoresistance of NSCLC cells. Furthermore, pumilio homolog 2 (PUM2), a RNA-binding protein, mediated the packaging of miRNA-130a into exosomes. The overexpression and knockdown of PUM2 promoted and inhibited tumor growth of xenograft mice, respectively.Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that CAFs-derived exosomes confer cisplatin resistance of NSCLC cells through transferring miRNA-130a and that PUM2 is a critical factor for packaging miRNA-130a into exosomes. This study indicates that CAFs-derived exosomal miRNA-130a may be a potential therapeutic target for cisplatin resistance in NSCLC.Keywords: chemoresistance, non-small cell lung cancer, cancer-associated fibroblasts, exosome, miRNA-130a, pumilio homolog 2 |
