Abstract
Recently, we reported about exosomes possessing messenger RNA (mRNA) of suicide gene secreted from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) engineered to express the suicide gene—fused yeast cytosine deaminase::uracil phosphoribosyltransferase (yCD::UPRT). The yCD::UPRT‐MSC exosomes are internalized by tumor cells and intracellularly convert prodrug 5‐fluorocytosine (5‐FC) to cytotoxic drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU). Human tumor cells with the potential to metastasize release exosomes involved in the creation of a premetastatic niche at the predicted organs. We found that cancer cells stably transduced with yCD::UPRT gene by retrovirus infection released exosomes acting similarly like yCD::UPRT‐MSC exosomes. Different types of tumor cells were transduced with the yCD::UPRT gene. The homogenous cell population of yCD::UPRT‐transduced tumor cells expressed the yCD::UPRT suicide gene and secreted continuously exosomes with suicide gene mRNA in their cargo. All tumor cell suicide gene exosomes upon internalization into the recipient tumor cells induced the cell death by intracellular conversion of 5‐FC to 5‐FU and to 5‐FUMP in a dose‐dependent manner. Most of tumor cell‐derived suicide gene exosomes were tumor tropic, in 5‐FC presence they killed tumor cells but did not inhibit the growth of human skin fibroblast as well as DP‐MSCs. Tumor cell‐derived suicide gene exosomes home to their cells of origin and hold an exciting potential to become innovative specific therapy for tumors and potentially for metastases.
