Journal Article
Hypoxia-induced exosomal circNRIP1 activates cancer-associated fibroblasts to promote esophageal squamous cell carcinoma migration and invasion
2025
Overview
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is characterized by a complex tumor microenvironment (TME). Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a crucial role in the TME that facilitate tumor progression via interactions with cancer cells. However, the mechanisms underlying the activation of CAFs in TME remain largely unknown. Here, we characterized the exosomes derived from normoxic and hypoxic ESCC cells using electron microscopy and western blot. The impact of exosomes on CAF activation and the motility of ESCC cells was examined in vitro. The molecular complex involving circNRIP1 was explored using RNA pull-down. We demonstrated that exosomes derived from ESCC cells, including KYSE-150 and TE-10 cells, exhibited a significantly increase in secretion under hypoxic conditions. These hypoxic exosomes were internalized by fibroblasts and further promoted the transformation of normal fibroblasts into CAFs, as evidenced by enhanced migration and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. circNRIP1 was enriched in hypoxic exosomes, and its absence abolished the effect of hypoxic exosomes to activate CAFs. Furthermore, the CAFs activated by exosomal circNRIP1 further promoted the migration and invasion of ESCC cells. Mechanistically, circNRIP1 bound to the N1-methyladenosine (m1A) methyltransferase TRMT6 and activated CAFs in a TRMT6-dependent manner. This study revealed the role of hypoxia-induced exosomal circNRIP1 in the activation of CAFs, which contributes to ESCC development. These findings shed light on the mechanisms of the CAF activation in ESCC, positioning hypoxia-induced exosomal circNRIP1 as a potential molecular target for ESCC.
