Exosomes derived from cancer are regarded as significant mediators of cancer-host crosstalk. Hypoxia, on the other hand, is one of the essential characteristics of solid tumors. This research set out to discover how circulating exosomes from hypoxic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) contribute to the formation of metastatic niches and distant metastasis. First, we noticed that human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) had their tight connections disrupted and the expression of proteins involved in angiogenesis boosted by ESCC hypoxic exosomes. Hypoxia significantly induced Circ-ZNF609 expression in exosomes from ESCC, which was then internalized by HUVECs, as determined by circular RNA screening. High Circ-ZNF609 expression in HUVECs facilitated angiogenesis and vascular permeability, thereby promoting pre-metastatic niche formation, and enhancing distant metastasis in vitro and in vivo. Exosomal Circ-ZNF609 activated vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) mechanistically by sponging miR-150-5p. Exosomal Circ-ZNF609 also interacted with HuR and inhibited HuR binding to ZO-1, Claudin-1, and Occludin mRNAs, thereby reducing their translation. Collectively, our findings identified an essential function for exosomal Circ-ZNF609 from ESCC cells, suggesting the potential therapeutic value of exosomes for ESCC patients.
