Exosome-derived miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p stimulate liposarcoma progression

Despite the development of combined modality treatments against liposarcoma (LPS) in recent years, a significant proportion of patients respond only modestly to such approaches, possibly contributing to local or distant recurrence. Early detection of recurrent or metastatic disease could improve patient prognosis by triggering earlier clinical intervention. However, useful biomarkers for such purposes are lacking. Using both patient plasma samples and cell lines, we demonstrate here that miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p are secreted by LPS cells through extracellular vesicles and may be useful as potential biomarkers of disease. Both miR-25-3p and miR-92a-3p stimulated secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 from tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) in a TLR7/8-dependent manner, which in turn promoted LPS cell proliferation, invasion, and metastasis via this interaction with the surrounding microenvironment. Our findings provide novel and previously unreported insight into LPS progression, identifying communication between LPS cells and their microenvironment as a process critically involved in LPS progression. This study establishes the possibility that the pattern of circulating miRNAs may identify recurrence prior to radiological detectability while providing insight into disease outcome and as a possible approach to monitor treatment efficacy.
