microRNA-10a-5p from gastric cancer cell-derived exosomes enhances viability and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells by targeting zinc finger MYND-type containing 11

Tumor-derived exosomes (exo) could modulate the biological behaviors of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). Here, the role of microRNA (miR)-10a-5p-modified gastric cancer (GC) cells-derived exo for HUVECs was studied. GC tissue specimens were collected, and miR-10a-5p and zinc finger MYND-type containing 11 (ZMYND11) levels were determined. HUVECs interfered with ZMYND11 or miR-10a-5p-related oligonucleotides. Exo was extracted from GC cells (HGC-27 exo), and miR-10a-5p mimic-modified HGC-27 exo were co-cultured with HUVECs. HUVECs viability, migration and angiogenesis were evaluated, and miR-10a-5p/ZMYND11 crosstalk was explored. It was observed that GC patients had raised miR-10a-5p and reduced ZMYND11, and miR-10a-5p negatively mediated ZMYND11 expression. Suppression of miR-10a-5p or overexpression of ZMYND11 inhibited viability, migration and tube formation ability of HUVECs. Notably, miR-10a-5p mimic-modified HGC-27 exo enhanced the viability, migration and tube formation ability of HUVECs, but this effect was impaired after up-regulating ZMYND11. In summary, miR-10a-5p from GC cells-derived exo enhances viability and migration of HUVECs by suppressing ZMYND11.
