IL-17 participates in the initiation and growth of malignant cancers, including lung cancer. The aberrant expression of miRNA is also related to tumor growth and metastasis. Studies have confirmed that high expression of miRNA-3646 can boost breast cancer cell invasion and migration, suggesting that miRNA-3646 is a tumor-promoting factor. However, the role of miRNA-3646 in the migration and invasion of IL-17-induced lung cancer cells is unclear. In this study, qRT-PCR was used to determine the level of miRNA-3646. We found that in lung cancer cells, miRNA-3646 levels exceeded those of normal bronchial epithelial 16HBE cells (P < 0.05). The level of miRNA-3646 in NCI-H1299 cells was higher than that in A549, NCI-H446, and SK-MES-1 cells (P < 0.05). After IL-17 treatment, the number of proliferating and migrating lung carcinoma NCI-H1299 cells increased, transport of vimentin increased, and transport of E-cadherin decreased (P < 0.05). After IL-17 treatment, the number of proliferating and migrating lung carcinoma NCI-H1299 cells transfected with miRNA-3646 inhibitor decreased, transport of vimentin decreased, and transport of E-cadherin increased (P < 0.05). FBXO4 siRNA reversed the inhibition of miRNA-3646 on the proliferation and migration of IL-17-induced lung carcinoma NCI-H1299 cells and the transport of E-cadherin and vimentin. Thus, downregulation of miRNA-3646 inhibited IL-17-induced lung carcinoma cell migration and proliferation by directly targeting FBXO4.

Abstract Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related deaths, primarily as a result of metastases. In this metastasis, the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is essential. Interaction with the cancer cell microenvironment is primarily dependent on M1- and M2-polarized macrophage. In this study, we revealed the EMT-associated activity of M1, M2a and M2c macrophages in A549 lung cancer cells. We established a co-culture model of A549 lung cancer cells utilizing THP-1-derived M1/M2 polarised macrophages to explore the involvement of macrophages in the immune response, apoptosis, and EMT in lung cancer. Although multiple polarising agents are routinely used for M1 and M2 conversion, we assessed a new possible polarising agent, hydrocortisone. M1 increased A549 cell sensitivity to proteasome inhibitors and decreased A549 cell viability by inducing apoptosis. EMT was induced in the presence of M2c macrophages in A549 cells by the levels of vimentin, fibronectin, E-cadherin, NF-kB, CCL-17. We also revealed the antiproliferative effects of bortezomib and ixazomib on A549 cells in both 2D and 3D cultures. Our findings could help develop an immunotherapeutic strategy by shedding light on a previously undiscovered part of the EMT pathway. Furthermore, additional investigation may reveal that polarising tumour-associated macrophages to M1 and eliminating the M2a or particularly the M2c subtype are effective anti-cancer strategies.
