The study revealed that miR-15a-5p expression was decreased in HCC tissues and cell lines, indicating a poor prognosis. Overexpression of miR-15a-5p inhibited the viability, proliferation, migration, and invasion of HepG2 cells. It was found that exosomes released from cancer cells contained miR-15a-5p, which inhibited PD1 expression in CD8+ T cells through exo-miR-15a-5p. This inhibition ultimately suppressed the development of HCC.
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver tumor, and the main reason is the unclear pathogenesis of HCC, which leads to a high fatality rate of HCC. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to explore the molecular mechanism of HCC and find a targeted therapeutic approach from the molecular level. Materials and Methods MicroRNA-15a-5p (miR-15a-5p) expression level was measured by bioinformatics and qRT-PCR. Luciferase assay and RIP assays were used to verify the relationship between programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1) PD 1 with miR-15a-5p. Exosomes were identified using TEM, Zetasizer Nano ZS, and western blot. Edu, Transwell, and scratch assay were performed to explore the role of miR-15a-5p or exo-miR-15a-5p on HepG2 cells progression. Results MicroRNA-15a-5p (miR-15a-5p) was decreased in HCC tissues and cell lines, which indicated a poor prognosis. Overexpression of miR-15a-5p inhibited viability, proliferation, migration and invasion of HepG2 cells. Then, we isolated exosomes from cancer cells, and found that miR-15a-5p was packaged into exosomes from cancer cells. Furthermore, exo-miR-15a-5p was secreted into CD8+ T cells, then directly inhibited PD1 expression via targeted binding. Then, we co-cultured CD8+ T cells transfected with PD1 with HepG2 transfected with miR-15a-5p, PD1 remitted the inhibitory role of miR-15a-5p on HCC progression. Conclusion Together, present study revealed exo-miR-15a-5p from cancer cells inhibited PD1 expression in CD8+ T cells, which suppressed the development of HCC.
