Abstract

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths, and there is an urgent need for innovative therapies. MicroRNA (miRNA)-based gene therapy has shown promise, but efficient delivery systems are required for its success. This study investigates the use of extracellular vehicles (EVs) secreted by natural killer (NK) cells as delivery systems for miRNAs targeting PD-L1/PD-1 immune checkpoint and FOXM1, in combination with Carboplatin, to enhance anticancer efficacy in lung cancer models. NK-EVs were isolated from NK92-MI cells and characterized using nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), proteomics and Western blotting, confirming their exosomal characteristics. Gene ontology profiling and RNA-seq identified highly expressed miRNAs such as miR-5193 and miR-149-5p, which were loaded into NK-EVs via electroporation. Agarose gel electrophoresis confirmed their entrapment and Quickdrop spectrophotometer was used to estimate the quantity. In vitro, miRNA-loaded NK-EVs demonstrated significant cytotoxicity against Osimertinib-resistant PDX (TM0019, Jackson Labs) and H1975R (with L858R mutations) lung cancer cells, with approximately 1.2 to 1.6-fold (p < 0.01) decrease in cell viability compared to NK-EVs alone. In vivo, the combination of miRNA-loaded NK-EVs and Carboplatin significantly reduced tumor volumes (3.5 to 4-fold, p < 0.001) in PDX and H1975R xenograft models, with the most pronounced effect observed in combination therapies. Western blot analysis showed downregulation of tumor-associated markers: PD-1/PD-L1, FOXM1, Survivin, NF-κB and others vs untreated group, p < 0.001) suggesting immune checkpoint inhibition, apoptosis and anti-inflammatory activity. These findings highlight the potential of NK-EVs as effective carriers for miRNAs in combination with chemotherapy, offering a promising therapeutic strategy for NSCLC with EGFR mutations.

摘要

肺癌仍然是癌症相关死亡的主要原因,因此迫切需要创新疗法。基于微小RNA(miRNA)的基因疗法已显示出前景,但要取得成功需要高效的递送系统。本研究调查了自然杀伤(NK)细胞分泌的细胞外囊泡(EVs)作为靶向PD-L1/PD-1免疫检查点和FOXM1的miRNAs的递送系统,并与卡铂联合使用,以增强肺癌模型中的抗癌疗效。从NK92-MI细胞中分离出NK-EVs,并使用纳米颗粒跟踪分析(NTA)、蛋白质组学和蛋白质印迹法进行表征,证实了它们的外泌体特征。基因本体分析和RNA测序鉴定出高表达的miRNAs,如miR-5193和miR-149-5p,通过电穿孔将它们装载到NK-EVs中。琼脂糖凝胶电泳证实了它们的包封,并用Quickdrop分光光度计估计数量。在体外,装载miRNA的NK-EVs对奥希替尼耐药的PDX(TM0019,杰克逊实验室)和H1975R(具有L858R突变)肺癌细胞表现出显著的细胞毒性,与单独的NK-EVs相比,细胞活力降低了约1.2至1.6倍(p < 0.01)。在体内,装载miRNA的NK-EVs与卡铂联合使用显著减小了PDX和H1975R异种移植模型中的肿瘤体积(3.5至4倍,p < 0.001),联合疗法中观察到的效果最为显著。蛋白质印迹分析显示肿瘤相关标志物:PD-1/PD-L1、FOXM1、生存素、NF-κB等与未治疗组相比下调(p < 0.001),表明免疫检查点抑制、细胞凋亡和抗炎活性。这些发现突出了NK-EVs作为miRNAs与化疗联合的有效载体的潜力,为具有EGFR突变的非小细胞肺癌提供了一种有前景的治疗策略。
