摘要
目的研究黑素瘤来源的外泌体（exosome）如何与微环境相互作用。
方法分离并鉴定小鼠黑素瘤细胞培养液上清中的外泌体，并与间充质基质细胞（MSC）共培养。利用免疫荧光观察细胞摄入外泌体情况，CCK-8及transwell实验测定MSC增殖与迁移的变化情况，Western blot检测外泌体对MSC的α平滑肌肌动蛋白（α-SMA）表达的影响。
结果发现MSC在摄取外泌体后，增殖和迁移能力显著上升，α-SMA的表达明显上调。且这些变化都可被TGF-β受体的抑制剂阻断。
结论外泌体可能通过TGF-β诱导MSC构建微环境，促进黑素瘤的生长与转移。
ObjectiveTo investigate the interactions between melanoma-derived exosomes and the microenvironment.
MethodsThe exosomes were isolated from the culture medium of mouse melanoma cells and then co-cultured with mesenchymal stromal cells （MSC） after identification. Immunofluorescence assay was performed to observe the exosomes engulfed by MSC. CCK-8 and transwell assays were used to evaluate the proliferation and migration of MSC. Effects of the exosomes on the expression of α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） in MSC were analyzed by Western blot.
ResultsCo-culture of MSC with melanoma cell-derived exosomes enhanced the proliferation and migration of MSC as well as the expression of α-SMA. All of the changes mediated by the exosomes could be blocked by using the inhibitor of TGF-β receptor.
ConclusionMelanoma cell-derived exosomes enhanced the proliferation and migration of MSC as well as the expression of α-SMA through TGF-β signaling pathway, which provided an advantageous microenvironment for melanoma progression.
