The crosstalk between tumor cells and macrophages under hypoxic conditions has been acknowledged as a pivotal determinant in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC). Previous research has underscored the significance of exosomes derived from hypoxic tumor cells in facilitating tumor progression through inducing the polarization of macrophages towards the M2-like phenotype. The precise influence of hypoxic macrophage-derived exosomes (HMDEs) on the progression of CRC has not yet been fully elucidated. The objective of this study was to investigate the role of HMDEs in the progression of CRC. We discovered that there was an elevated release of exosomes derived from macrophages in hypoxic conditions. Additionally, the hypoxia-induced macrophage-derived exosomes played a crucial role in promoting the progression of CRC. We have also demonstrated that HMDEs have the ability to induce cell cycle transition and inhibit cell apoptosis, thereby promoting the growth of CRC cells. Furthermore, the underlying molecular mechanisms of these effects have been identified. The overexpression of Hif-1α results in its direct interaction with distinct regions (-521− -516 bp and -401− -391 bp) of the Hsp90 promoter during hypoxic circumstances. This binding event led to the overexpression of Hsp90 and the subsequent elevation of Hsp90 protein levels within HMDEs. Importantly, the crucial interaction between Hsp90 and Lats1 resulted in the deactivation of Lats1 and the inhibition of Yap phosphorylation. Ultimately, this series of events lead to the deactivation of the Hippo signaling pathway. Our in vivo and in vitro studies presented compelling evidence for the crucial role of hypoxic macrophage-derived exosomal Hsp90 in promoting CRC progression through the inhibition of the Hippo signaling pathway. These findings represented a significant advancement in our comprehension of the complex interplay between macrophages and CRC cells under hypoxic conditions. |
