    Abstract:
    Glioblastoma (GBM) cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been demonstrated to modulate tumor microenvironment. In the present study, we attempted to discuss the role of hsa-microRNA-27a-3p (miR-27a-3p) delivered by GBM-EVs in M2 macrophage polarization. The isolated GBM-EVs were co-cultured with macrophages. After co-culture under normoxia/hypoxia, the effect of EV-derived hsa-miR-27a-3p on GBM cell biological processes was analyzed. Additionally, the target genes of hsa-miR-27a-3p were predicted. Moreover, the binding of enhancer of zeste homologue 1 (EZH1) to lysine-specific demethylase 3A (KDM3A) promoter region and the interaction between KDM3A and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) were analyzed. GBM mouse models were established to verify the functions of EV-derived hsa-miR-27a-3p in vivo. We found increased hsa-miR-27a-3p in GBM tissues as well as GBM-EVs, which induced M2 polarization, thus promoting proliferative, migrative and invasive potentials of GBM cells. hsa-miR-27a-3p targeted EZH1 and promoted KDM3A expression to elevate the CTGF expression. GBM-EV-delivered hsa-miR-27a-3p promoted the KDM3A-upregulated CTGF by downregulating EZH1, thereby promoting M2 macrophage polarization and development of GBM in vivo. We demonstrated that EV-derived hsa-miR-27a-3p may promote M2 macrophage polarization to induce GBM.
