Abstract
AbstractRadiation therapy is recognized as an effective modality in the treatment of lung cancer, but radioresistance resulting from prolonged treatment reduces the chances of recovery. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play a pivotal role in radiotherapy immunity. In this study, we aimed to investigate the mechanism by which miR‐196a‐5p affects radioresistance in lung cancer. The radioresistant lung cancer cell line A549R26–1 was established by radiation treatment. Cancer‐associated fibroblasts (CAFs) and normal fibroblasts (NFs) were observed by microscopy, and the expression levels of CAF‐specific marker proteins were detected by immunofluorescence. The shape of the exosomes was observed by electron microscopy. A CCK‐8 assay was used to detect cell viability, while clone formation assays were used to detect cell proliferative capacity. Flow cytometry was performed to investigate apoptosis. The binding of miR‐196a‐5p and NFKBIA was predicted and further verified by the dual luciferase reporter experiment. qRT–PCR and western blotting were used to detect gene mRNA and protein levels. We found that exosomes secreted by CAFs could enhance lung cancer cell radioresistance. Moreover, miR‐196a‐5p potentially bound to NFKBIA, promoting malignant phenotypes in radioresistant cells. Furthermore, exosomal miR‐196a‐5p derived from CAFs increased radiotherapy immunity in lung cancer. Exosomal miR‐196a‐5p derived from CAFs enhanced radioresistance in lung cancer cells by downregulating NFKBIA, providing a new potential target for the treatment of lung cancer.
