How they are transferred and how theyaffect theirtarget landscape, especially in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), is largelyunknown. Here wereport that breast cancer cells have a high constitutive expression ofmiR-375, whichis released as a non-exosome entity during apoptosis. Deep sequencingof the miRomepointed to enhanced accumulation of miR-375 in TAMs, facilitated by theuptake oftumor-derived miR-375 via CD36. In macrophages, miR-375 directly targets TNS3and PXN to enhancemacrophage migration and infiltration into tumor spheroids and intumors of axenograft mouse model. In tumor cells, miR-375 regulates CCL2 expressionto increaserecruitment of macrophages. Our study provides evidence for miR transfer fromtumor cells toTAMs and identifies miR-375 as acrucial regulator of phagocyte infiltration and thesubsequent development of a tumor-promoting microenvironment. |
