BACKGROUND: Polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) is one of the causes of tumor immune tolerance and failure of cancer immunotherapy. Here, we found that bladder cancer (BCa)-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 could enhance the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSCs by regulating the expression of fatty acid transporter protein 2 (FATP2) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3). However, the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown.

METHODS: BCa-derived exosomes was isolated and used for a series of experiments. RNA sequencing was used to identify the differentially expressed circRNAs. Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR, ELISA and Flow cytometry were performed to reveal the potential mechanism of circRNA_0013936 promoting the immunosuppressive activity of PMN-MDSC.

RESULTS: CircRNA_0013936 enriched in BCa-derived exosomes could promote the expression of FATP2 and inhibit the expression of RIPK3 in PMN-MDSCs. Mechanistically, circRNA_0013936 promoted the expression of FATP2 and inhibited the expression of RIPK3 expression via sponging miR-320a and miR-301b, which directly targeted JAK2 and CREB1 respectively. Ultimately, circRNA_0013936 significantly inhibited the functions of CD8+ T cells by up-regulating FATP2 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-320a/JAK2 pathway, and down-regulating RIPK3 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-301b/CREB1 pathway in PMN-MDSCs.

CONCLUSIONS: BCa-derived exosomal circRNA_0013936 promotes suppressive immunity by up-regulating FATP2 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-320a/JAK2 pathway and down-regulating RIPK3 through the circRNA_0013936/miR-301b-3p/CREB1 pathway in PMN-MDSCs. These findings help to find new targets for clinical treatment of human bladder cancer.
