Crosstalk between chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML)and bone marrow stromal cells: role of exosomes in the IL8- dependent signalling mediated by EGFR…

2014

Introduction: CML is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by Bcr-Abl oncoprotein with a constitutive tyr-kinase activity. Exosomes (exo) shed by cancer cells potentially affect tumor-stroma interaction through the establishment of a bi-directional crosstalk. Interleukin-8 (IL8) is a proinflammatory chemokine that regulate proliferation and survival of cancer cells. We previously demonstrated that CML-derived exo modulate bone marrow microenvironment through the IL8 secretion from stromal cells. EGFR, as well as IL8, regulate cell proliferation and survival; it has been recently demonstrated that EGFR ligands can signal via exosomes shed by cancer cells. We hypothesized that the effec…

THU0231 IL-17 polarization of mait cells derive from the activation of two different pathways

2017

Background Primary Sjogren Syndrome (pSS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder affecting exocrine glands. Both IL-23 and the downstream cytokines IL-17 and IL-22 are recognised as key players in the disease. Therefore, the identification of the cellular sources and inducers of IL-17 is crucial in the understanding of the drivers of inflammation in pSS. Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells recognize riboflavin derivatives presented by the MHC class I-like molecule MR1. Objectives Recently, MAIT cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune disorders and found expanded in salivary glands of pSS patients. Their expression of IL7R and IL23R, makes them potential contributors…

The phospholipase DDHD1 as a new target in colorectal cancer therapy

2018

Background Our previous study demonstrates that Citrus-limon derived nanovesicles are able to decrease colon cancer cell viability, and that this effect is associated with the downregulation of the intracellular phospholipase DDHD domain-containing protein 1 (DDHD1). While few studies are currently available on the contribution of DDHD1 in neurological disorders, there is no information on its role in cancer. This study investigates the role of DDHD1 in colon cancer. Methods DDHD1 siRNAs and an overexpression vector were transfected into colorectal cancer and normal cells to downregulate or upregulate DDHD1 expression. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to investigate the functional…

2019

Background Multiple myeloma (MM) is a clonal plasma cell malignancy associated with osteolytic bone disease. Recently, the role of MM-derived exosomes in the osteoclastogenesis has been demonstrated although the underlying mechanism is still unknown. Since exosomes-derived epidermal growth factor receptor ligands (EGFR) are involved in tumor-associated osteolysis, we hypothesize that the EGFR ligand amphiregulin (AREG) can be delivered by MM-derived exosomes and participate in MM-induced osteoclastogenesis. Methods Exosomes were isolated from the conditioned medium of MM1.S cell line and from bone marrow (BM) plasma samples of MM patients. The murine cell line RAW264.7 and primary human CD1…

2017

Abstract We have previously isolated exosome-like nanoparticles from Citrus-limon juice, able to inhibit in vitro and in vivo tumor cell growth. In order to deeply understand the mechanism underlying nanovesicle effects, we performed a proteomic profile of treated colorectal cancer cells. Among the proteins differentially expressed after nanovesicle treatment, we found a significant downregulation of the Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase 1 (ACACA) and we demonstrated that silencing ACACA in cancer cells leads to a reduction of cell growth. Our study proved that the anti-tumor effects of Citrus-limon nanovesicles is partly mediated by lipid metabolism inhibition, in particular via ACACA downregulation.…

PO-146 Multiple myeloma-derived exosomes carry amphiregulin and are responsible for the uncoupled bone remodelling

2018

Introduction Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy associated with osteolytic bone disease caused by the perturbation of the functional balance between bone resorption and bone formation. Exosomes, nanosize lipoproteic structures, have been recently recognised as a new mechanism of cell to cell communication during tumour growth and progression. We have previously shown that MM-exosomes are involved in osteolytic lesions but the underlying mechanism is still understood. We hypothesise that the epidermal growth factor receptor ligand Amphiregulin (AREG) can be delivered by multiple myeloma-derived exosomes and participate in modulating the response of the bone microenvironment to…

PO-053 The phospholipase ddhd1 as a new target in colorectal cancer therapy

Introduction We have recently demonstrated that Citrus-limon derived nanovesicles are able to decrease colon cancer cell viability and that this effect is associated with the down-regulation of the intracellular phospholipase DDHD domain-containing protein 1 (DDHD1). While few studies are currently available on DDHD1 contribution in neurological disorders, information on its involvement in cancer is missing. Here we investigate the role of DDHD1 in colon cancer. Material and methods DDHD1 siRNAs and overexpression vector were transfected into colorectal cancer and normal cells to down-regulate or up-regulate DDHD1 expression. In vitro and in vivo assays were performed to investigate the fun…

Chronic myelogenous leukaemia exosomes modulate bone marrow microenvironment through activation of epidermal growth factor receptor

2016

Abstract Chronic myelogenous leukaemia (CML) is a clonal myeloproliferative disorder. Recent evidence indicates that altered crosstalk between CML and mesenchymal stromal cells may affect leukaemia survival; moreover, vesicles released by both tumour and non‐tumour cells into the microenvironment provide a suitable niche for cancer cell growth and survival. We previously demonstrated that leukaemic and stromal cells establish an exosome‐mediated bidirectional crosstalk leading to the production of IL8 in stromal cells, thus sustaining the survival of CML cells. Human cell lines used are LAMA84 (CML cells), HS5 (stromal cells) and bone marrow primary stromal cells; gene expression and protei…

Exosomal shuttling of miR-126 in endothelial cells modulates adhesive and migratory abilities of chronic myelogenous leukemia cells.

2014

BACKGROUND: Recent findings indicate that exosomes released from cancer cells contain microRNAs (miRNAs) that may be delivered to cells of tumor microenvironment. RESULTS: To elucidate whether miRNAs secreted from chronic myelogenous leukemia cells (CML) are shuttled into endothelial cells thus affecting their phenotype, we first analysed miRNAs content in LAMA84 exosomes. Among the 124 miRNAs identified in LAMA84 exosomes, we focused our attention on miR-126 which was found to be over-overexpressed in exosomes compared with producing parental cells. Transfection of LAMA84 with Cy3-labelled miR-126 and co-culture of leukemia cells with endothelial cells (EC) confirmed that miR-126 is shuttl…

Objective To investigate the role of the interleukin-25 (IL-25)/IL-17 receptor B (IL-17RB) axis in experimental Sjogren's syndrome (SS) and in patients with primary SS and primary SS-associated lymphoma. Methods Expression of IL-25, IL-17RB, IL-17B, and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) was analyzed on minor salivary gland (SG) samples from patients with primary SS and on parotid gland samples from patients with primary SS-associated B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). IL-17RB expression and the frequencies of natural group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), inflammatory ILC2s, and M2-polarized macrophages were assessed by flow cytometry in SG mononuclear cells and p…

CD90+ liver cancer cells modulate endothelial cell phenotype through the release of exosomes containing H19 lncRNA

2015

Background CD90+ liver cancer cells have been described as cancer stem-cell-like (CSC), displaying aggressive and metastatic phenotype. Using two different in vitro models, already described as CD90+ liver cancer stem cells, our aim was to study their interaction with endothelial cells mediated by the release of exosomes. Methods Exosomes were isolated and characterized from both liver CD90+ cells and hepatoma cell lines. Endothelial cells were treated with exosomes, as well as transfected with a plasmid containing the full length sequence of the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) H19. Molecular and functional analyses were done to characterize the endothelial phenotype after treatments. Results …

IL-17 polarization of MAIT cells is derived from the activation of two different pathways

2017

MAIT cells are expanded in salivary glands of patients with Sjogren's syndrome and are IL-17 polarized. IL-7 and IL-23 induce IL-17 production activating two different pathways: IL-7 stimulation induces in fact a significant STAT3 and HIF1alpha upregulation, conversely, IL-23 stimulation significantly induces RORc overexpression in MAIT cells of patients with Sjogren's syndrome.

Retinoic Acid affects Lung Adenocarcinoma growth by inducing differentiation via GATA6 activation and EGFR and Wnt inhibition

2016

AbstractA fundamental task in cancer research aims at the identification of new pharmacological therapies that can affect tumor growth. Differentiation therapy might exploit this function not only for hematological diseases, such as acute promyelocytic leukemia (APML) but also for epithelial tumors, including lung cancer. Here we show that Retinoic Acid (RA) arrests in vitro and in vivo the growth of Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKI) resistant Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). In particular, we found that RA induces G0/G1 cell cycle arrest in TKI resistant NSCLC cells and activates terminal differentiation programs by modulating the expression of GATA6, a key transcription factor involved …

Hematologic malignancies: The exosome contribution in tumor progression

2020

Abstract The bone marrow, composed of cells, extracellular matrix, and soluble factors, such as cytokines, chemokines and signaling molecules, provides a favorable microenvironment for hematologic tumor progression and for the development of drug resistance. Recently, extracellular vesicles (EVs), released by tumor and surrounding cells, have emerged as important players within the bone marrow niche. Here we will discuss the current knowledge on the EV- mediated crosstalk between tumor and normal cells, in order to better understand how vesicles can contribute to tumor progression. Advances in the knowledge of the role of cell-derived EVs in tumor microenvironment highlight the possibility …

Role of exosomes released by chronic myelogenous leukemia cells in angiogenesis

2012

The present study is designed to assess if exosomes released from Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML) cells may modulate angiogenesis. We have isolated and characterized the exosomes generated from LAMA84 CML cells and demonstrated that addition of exosomes to human vascular endothelial cells (HUVEC) induces an increase of both ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 cell adhesion molecules and interleukin-8 expression. The stimulation of cell-cell adhesion molecules was paralleled by a dose-dependent increase of adhesion of CML cells to a HUVEC monolayer. We further showed that the treatment with exosomes from CML cells caused an increase in endothelial cell motility accompanied by a loss of VE-cadherin and β-ca…

2019

Abstract In recent years, several studies demonstrated the role of exosomes in intercellular communications, several Leishmania species belonging to subgenera Leishmania and Viannia have been demonstrated to release exosomes, and their role in parasite-macrophage interactions and in leishmaniasis development has been investigated. However, the release of exosomes by Leishmania infantum has not been studied so far. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize L. infantum exosomes, and to investigate the biological activity of these exosomes in macrophage cultures. To this end, exosomes were collected from both amastigote and promastigote L. infantum conditioned medium by ultracentri…

Activated IL-22 pathway occurs in the muscle tissues of patients with polymyositis or dermatomyositis and is correlated with disease activity.

2014

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the expression of IL-22, IL-22 receptor 1 (IL-22R1), IL-22 binding protein (IL-22BP) and p-STAT3 in muscle tissue from patients with PM and DM. METHODS: Levels of IL-22, IL-22R1, IL-22BP and STAT3 mRNA were quantified by RT-PCR. The expression of IL-22, IL-22R1, IL-22BP and p-STAT3 was also analysed using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Significant modulation of the IL-22 pathway was observed in inflammatory myopathic tissues. In particular, a significant overexpression of IL-22 at the protein but not the mRNA level was observed in PM/DM tissues and was correlated with myositis activity. IL-22R1 aberrant expression was also observed among infilt…

Exosome-mediated crosstalk between chronic myelogenous leukemia cells and human bone marrow stromal cells triggers an Interleukin 8-dependent surviva…

2014

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein with constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. Exosomes are nanovesicles released by cancer cells that are involved in cell-to-cell communication thus potentially affecting cancer progression. It is well known that bone marrow stromal microenvironment contributes to disease progression through the establishment of a bi-directional crosstalk with cancer cells. Our hypothesis is that exosomes could have a functional role in this crosstalk. Interleukin-8 (IL 8) is a proinflammatory chemokine that activates multiple signalling pathways downstream of two receptors (CXCR1 and CXCR2). We demon…

Curcumin modulates chronic myelogenous leukemia exosomes composition and affects angiogenic phenotype, via exosomal miR-21

2016

Abstract: Tumor derived exosomes are vesicles which contain proteins and microRNAs that mediate cell-cell communication and are involved in angiogenesis and tumor progression. Curcumin derived from the plant Curcuma longa, shows anticancer effects. Exosomes released by CML cells treated with Curcumin contain a high amount of miR-21 that is shuttled into the endothelial cells in a biologically active form. The treatment of HUVECs with CML Curcu-exosomes reduced RhoB expression and negatively modulated endothelial cells motility. We showed that the addition of CML control exosomes to HUVECs caused an increase in IL8 and VCAM1 levels, but Curcu-exosomes reversed these effects thus attenuating …

2014

Background Chronic gut inflammation occurring in AS patients has been linked to active axial inflammation and the gut has been proposed as the main site of IL-23 production in AS patients. IL-23 has been demonstrated to be essential in murine enthesitis by acting on a unique subset of entheseal resident T cells that share some immunological features with a subset of IL-23-responsive gut derived innate lymphoid cells (type III ILCs). Objectives Aim of the study was to better characterize the immunologic origin and the behavior of ILCs in the gut, synovial fluid and bone marrow of AS patients. Methods Consecutive ileal gut biopsies were obtained from 20 HLA-B27 + AS patients with axial active…

Chronic myeloid leukemia-derived exosomes promote tumor growth through an autocrine mechanism.

2014

Background Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a clonal hematopoietic stem cell disorder in which leukemic cells display a reciprocal t(9:22) chromosomal translocation that results in the formation of the chimeric BCR-ABL oncoprotein, with a constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. Consequently, BCR-ABL causes increased proliferation, inhibition of apoptosis, and altered adhesion of leukemic blasts to the bone marrow (BM) microenvironment. It has been well documented that cancer cells can generate their own signals in order to sustain their growth and survival, and recent studies have revealed the role of cancer-derived exosomes in activating signal transduction pathways involved in cancer cell…

Hypoxia-Induced miR-675-5p Supports β-Catenin Nuclear Localization by Regulating GSK3-β  Activity in Colorectal Cancer Cell Lines

2020

The reduction of oxygen partial pressure in growing tumors triggers numerous survival strategies driven by the transcription factor complex HIF1 (Hypoxia Inducible Factor-1). Recent evidence revealed that HIF1 promotes rapid and effective phenotypic changes through the induction of non-coding RNAs, whose contribution has not yet been fully described. Here we investigated the role of the hypoxia-induced, long non-coding RNA H19 (lncH19) and its intragenic miRNA (miR-675-5p) into HIF1-Wnt crosstalk. During hypoxic stimulation, colorectal cancer cell lines up-regulated the levels of both the lncH19 and its intragenic miR-675-5p. Loss of expression experiments revealed that miR-675-5p inhibitio…

Crosstalk between chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and bone marrow stromal cells: role of interleukin 8 and CML derived- exosomes

2013

Chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disorder characterized by the t(9:22) (q34:q11) reciprocal translocation, resulting in the expression of the chimeric Bcr–Abl oncoprotein with constitutive tyrosine kinase activity. Exosomes (Exo) are small vesicles of endosomal origin and of 40-100 nm diameter released by many cell types including cancer cells. Several data indicate that Exo play an important role in cell-to-cell communication and tumor-stroma interaction, thus potentially affecting cancer progression. It is well known that stromal microenvironment contributes to disease progression through the establishment of a bi-directional crosstalk with cancer cells. In the b…

Tumor microenvironment modulation by exosomes in chronic myelogenous leukemia

2011

Exosomes are small vesicles of 40-100 nm diameter that are initially formed within the endosomal compartment and are secreted when a multivesicular body (MVB) fuses with the plasma membrane. These vesicles are released by many cell types including cancer cells and are considered messengers in intercellular communication. The exact function of exosomes in malignant cells has yet to be elucidated, but investigation has suggested roles in cell-to-cell communication, tumor-stroma interaction, and antigen presentation, thus potentially affecting cancer progression at different steps. Although production of exosomes by CML cells has been reported, little is known regarding the role of these vesic…

Contribution of proteomics to understanding the role of tumor-derived exosomes in cancer progression: State of the art and new perspectives

2013

Exosomes are nanometer-sized vesicles (40-100 nm diameter) of endocytic origin released from different cell types under both normal and pathological conditions. They function as cell free messengers, playing a relevant role in the cell-cell communication that is strongly related to the nature of the molecules (proteins, mRNAs, miRNAs, and lipids) that they transport. Tumor cells actively shed exosomes into their surrounding microenvironment and growing evidence indicates that these vesicles have pleiotropic functions in the regulation of tumor progression, promoting immune escape, tumor invasion, neovascularization, and metastasis. During the last few years remarkable efforts have been made…
