Abstract
Exosomes are an important carrier for cell communication. miRNAs in exosomes are potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets in different types of cancer. However, the role of exosomal miRNAs in medulloblastoma (MB) patients is largely unknown. In this study, we reported that there was a higher level of miR-130b-3p in exosomes derived from MB patient plasma compared with exosomes from healthy control plasma. Exosomes from MB patient plasma could transfer miR-130b-3p to an MB cell line and played suppressor roles for cell proliferation. miR-130b-3p suppressed MB tumorigenesis by targeting a previously unknown target, serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 (SIK1), through the p53 signaling pathways. In addition, we found an unreported role of SIK1 in promoting MB tumor growth and an SIK1 inhibitor could inhibit MB cell proliferation. This research provides new insight into the molecular mechanism of MB and may provide a new therapeutic strategy for MB treatment.
