Acquisition of resistance to cisplatin is a major impediment to the success of cisplatin-based combination therapies for cancer. Recent studies indicate that exosomal miRNAs derived from drug-resistant tumour cells can confer resistance properties to recipient cells by a horizontal transfer mechanism. Although the role of horizontal transfer of a few miRNAs has been described, little is known about the concerted action of horizontal transfer of miRNAs in conferring cisplatin resistance. The present study was designed to identify the role of miR-643, which is one of the most significantly increased miRNA in exosomes released from cisplatin-resistant Heptocarcinoma cells, in altering the cisplatin resistance properties of recipient cells. Drug-sensitivity assays involving miR-643 revealed that ectopic expression of miR-643 can desensitise the cells towards cisplatin. Furthermore, we identified APOL6 as a major target of miR-643. Further mechanistic studies showed that miR-643 can modulate APOL6 mRNA and protein levels, leading to a reversal of APOL6-mediated apoptosis. Altogether, our results suggest an APOL6-dependent mechanism for miR-643 mediated cisplatin resistance upon the horizontal transfer across cell types. |
