The study revealed that miR-17-5p promotes osteoclastogenesis in lung cancer through the PI3K/Akt pathway and has negative regulatory effects on PTEN.
Aberrant activity of bone resorbing osteoclasts plays a key role in the development of osteoporosis and cancer bone metastasis. The identification of novel and specific targets will be helpful for the development of new therapeutic strategies for bone metastasis in lung cancer. Herein, we examined microRNAs in tumor cell-derived exosomes to investigate the communication between the bone environment and tumor cells. TCGA database analysis showed that the level of miR-17-5p increased in non-small cell lung cancer tissues compared with non-tumor tissues. To investigate the function of exosomes in inducing osteoclastogenesis, osteoclast precursors were incubated with exosomes isolated from non-small cell lung cancer cell line, as well as receptor activator of NF-KB ligand and M-CSF to induce osteoclastogenesis. We found that exosomal miR-17-5p is upregulated in a non-small cell lung cancer cell line with bone metastasis compared with the original cell line. Overexpression of miR-17-5p enhanced the osteoclastogenesis of RAW264.7 cells. PTEN was identified as a direct target of miR-17-5p and showed negative effects on osteoclastogenesis. Importantly, treatment of LY294002 (an inhibitor of the PI3K/Akt pathway) attenuated miR-17-5p-mediated osteoclastogenesis effects. Taken together, our findings demonstrated that miR-17-5p promotes osteoclastogenesis through the PI3K/Akt pathway via targeting PTEN in lung cancer.
