We previously identified that the development of early-stage myeloid-derived suppressor cells (eMDSCs) in breast cancer with high IL-6 (IL-6high) expression was correlated with the SOCS3 deficiency-dependent hyperactivation of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. However, the regulatory mechanisms have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we aimed to investigate how the posttranscriptional regulation mediated by cancer exosome-derived miRNAs affected the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and the development of eMDSCs. Using miRNA microarray, we screened miR-9 and miR-181a which were exclusively upregulated in eMDSCs and inversely associated with SOCS3 expression. We found both miRNAs promoted the amplification of immature eMDSCs with the strong suppression on T-cell immunity in mice and humans. Furthermore, miR-9 and miR-181a promoted 4T1 tumor growth and immune escape via enhancing eMDSCs infiltration in situ. But miR-9 and miR-181a stimulated eMDSCs development by separately inhibiting SOCS3 and PIAS3, two crucial regulators in the negative feedback loop of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Elevated miR-9 and miR-181a in eMDSCs was derived from tumor-derived exosomes, and blocking the exosome release could fully attenuate the miRNA-mediated regulation on eMDSCs development. In summary, our findings indicated that tumor exosome-derived miR-9 and miR-181a activated the JAK/STAT signaling pathway via targeting SOCS3 and PIAS3, respectively, and thus promoted the expansion of eMDSCs which might provide potential therapeutic target for IL-6high breast cancer treatment.
