Abstract

Exosomes are nanometer‑scale extracellular vesicles derived from almost all types of cells and key signaling mediators between cancer cells and their microenvironment. Certain microRNAs (miRNAs) are selected for exosome packing and exclusion from parental cells, while other miRNAs are selectively retained by cells, suggesting a biological role for these miRNAs in tumor malignant progression. In the present study, we isolated and characterized the exosomes derived from the laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) cell line AMC‑HN‑8 for the first time, and identified a subset of miRNAs enriched in the exosomes compared with parental cells, such as miR‑1246, miR‑1290, miR‑335‑5p, miR‑127‑3p and miR‑122‑5p through small RNA sequencing combined with reverse transcription‑quantitative PCR (RT‑qPCR) analysis. Potential target prediction, Gene Ontology (GO) annotation and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analysis revealed possible functions associated with these selective exosomal miRNAs. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated that the LSCC cell line AMC‑HN‑8 can release exosomes and cells can selectively pack certain miRNAs into exosomes.
