Abstract
AimsDeregulation of microRNA (miRNA) function has been linked to numerous human cancers, such as Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC). Exosomes, a subgroup of extracellular vehicles (EVs), can efficiently deliver many different cargo types to the target cell and have an extensive role in delivering therapeutic cargo for treatment. The present study intended to interrogate the effects of exosomal delivery of miR-3182 on TNBC cellular processes. Main methodsHuman Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells (HUCMSCs) were cultured and exosomes were isolated and characterized using TEM, SEM, DLS, and Western blot. Exosomes were transfected with miR-3182 and added to the treatment groups. The expression level of miR-3182 and their target genes including mTOR and S6KB1 were evaluated using RT-qPCR. The effects of miR-3182 loaded HUCMSC-exosomes treatment on the cellular aspect of MDA-MB-231 cells including their viability, migration potency, cell cycle status and apoptosis were investigated. Key findingsAccording to the results, exosomal miR-3182 significantly abolished cell proliferation and migration (P < 0.05). miR-3182 loaded exosomes also induced apoptosis in TNBC cells by down-regulating mTOR and S6KB1 genes (P < 0.05). SignificanceIn nutshell, miR-3182-loaded HUCMSC-exosomes can suppress TNBC invasion, suggesting that exosomes containing miR-3182 could be a reliable therapeutic paradigm in TNBC therapy.
