EGFR, as one of main components of the exosome, plays an important role in cancer progression. Here, we investigated the role of acidic bile salts (ABS)-induced exosomal EGFR in EAC cell proliferation.Methods: Electronic microscopic examination and Western blot were used to identify exosomes. Western blot, siRNA transfection, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, qRT-PCR, cell viability detection, mouse xenograft tumor models, and immunohistochemical staining were performed to study the function of ABS-induced exosomal EGFR in cell proliferation.Results: We found that ABS improved the exosomal EGFR level of normal human esophageal epithelial cells, BE cells, and BE-associated adenocarcinoma cells. The results were confirmed in the serum-derived exosomes from healthy persons and patients suffering from GERD, BE with or without GERD, and EAC with or without GERD. Moreover, cell line-derived exosomal EGFR was found to promote macrophage M2 polarization through the PI3K-AKT pathway. The co-incubation medium of macrophages and exosomes improved cell proliferation and tumor growth, which depended on the exosomal EGFR level. CCL18 was identified as the most effective component of the co-incubation medium to promote EAC cell proliferation by binding to its receptor PITPNM3 in vitro and in vivo.Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that ABS-induced exosomal EGFR regulates macrophage M2 polarization to promote EAC proliferation. This study provides an important insight into the role of ABS in EAC development.Keywords: cancer progression, pro-oncogenic, PI3K/AKT pathway, CCL18, PITPNM3 |
