Transcriptomic and Functional Evidence That miRNA193a-3p Inhibits Lymphatic Endothelial Cell (LEC) and LEC + MCF-7 Spheroid Growth Directly and by Altering MCF-7 Secretome.

MicroRNA 193a-3p (miR193a-3p) is a short non-coding RNA with tumor suppressor properties. Breast cancer (BC) progression is governed by active interaction between breast cancer cells, vascular (V)/lymphatic (L) endothelial cells (ECs), and BC secretome. We have recently shown that miR193a-3p, a tumor suppressor miRNA, inhibits MCF-7 BC cell-driven growth of VECs via direct antimitogenic actions and alters MCF-7 secretome. Since LEC-BC cross-talk plays a key role in BC progression, we investigated the effects of miR193a-3p on MCF-7 secretome and estradiol-mediated growth effects in LECs and LEC + MCF-7 spheroids, and delineated the underlying mechanisms. Transfection of LECs with miR193a-3p, as well as secretome from MCF-7 transfected cells, inhibited LEC growth, and these effects were mimicked in LEC + MCF-7 spheroids. Moreover, miR193a-3p inhibited ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation in LECs and LEC + MCF-7 spheroids, which are importantly involved in promoting cancer development and metastasis. Treatment of LECs and LEC + MCF-7 spheroids with estradiol (E2)-induced growth, as well as ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation, and was abrogated by miR193a-3p and secretome from MCF-7 transfected cells. Gene expression analysis (GEA) in LEC + MCF-7 spheroids transfected with miR193a-3p showed significant upregulation of 54 genes and downregulation of 73 genes. Pathway enrichment analysis of regulated genes showed significant modulation of several pathways, including interferon, interleukin/cytokine-mediated signaling, innate immune system, ERK1/2 cascade, apoptosis, and estrogen receptor signaling. Transcriptomic analysis showed downregulation in interferon and anti-apoptotic and pro-growth molecules, such as IFI6, IFIT1, OSA1/2, IFITM1, HLA-A/B, PSMB8/9, and PARP9, which are known to regulate BC progression. The cytokine proteome array of miR193a-3p transfected MCF secretome and confirmed the upregulation of several growth inhibitory cytokines, including IFNγ, Il-1a, IL-1ra, IL-32, IL-33, IL-24, IL-27, cystatin, C-reactive protein, Fas ligand, MIG, and sTIM3. Moreover, miR193a-3p alters factors in MCF-7 secretome, which represses ERK1/2 and Akt phosphorylation, induces pro-apoptotic protein and apoptosis in LECs, and downregulates interferon-associated proteins known to promote cancer growth and metastasis. In conclusion, miR193a-3p can potentially modify the tumor microenvironment by altering pro-growth BC secretome and inhibiting LEC growth, and may represent a therapeutic molecule to target breast tumors/cancer.
