We have previously shown that extracellular vesicles secreted by metastatic melanoma cells stimulate the growth, migration, and stemness of normal keratinocytes. This study showed for the first time that extracellular vesicles secreted by the metastatic melanoma cell lines mel H, mel Kor, and mel P contain, both at the mRNA and protein levels, the α7-type nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR), which is involved in the regulation of the oncogenic signaling pathways in epithelial cells. Incubation with the vesicles secreted by mel H cells and containing the highest amount of mRNA coding α7-nAChR increased the surface expression of α7-nAChR in normal Het-1A keratinocytes and stimulated their growth. Meanwhile, both of these effects disappeared in the presence of α-bungarotoxin, an α7-nAChR inhibitor. A bioinformatic analysis revealed a correlation between the increased expression of the CHRNA7 gene coding α7-nAChR in patients with metastatic melanoma and a poor survival prognosis. Therefore, extracellular vesicles derived from metastatic melanoma cells can transfer mRNA coding α7-nAChR, thus enhancing the surface expression of this receptor and stimulating the growth of normal keratinocytes. Targeting of α7-nAChR may become a new strategy for controlling the malignant transformation of keratinocytes.
