The effects of decitabine (DAC), a DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibitor, on metastasis and exosomal expression of microRNAs were examined in SW620/OxR cells, a human colorectal cancer (CRC) cell line (SW620) with acquired resistance to oxaliplatin. This cell line shows an invasive phenotype by epithelial–mesenchymal transition. Two CRC cell lines, SW480, derived from primary CRC, and SW620, derived from lymph node metastasis, which were obtained from the same patient, as well as SW620/OxR, were also used in the present study. Cytarabine (Ara-C), a non-DNMT-inhibiting cytidine analog, was used as negative control of DAC. No significant difference was observed in the invasion abilities of SW480 cells treated with DAC or Ara-C. On the other hand, invasion ability was suppressed by treatment with DAC in SW620 and SW620/OxR cells. Up-regulated expression of E-cadherin, microRNA-200c (miR-200c), and miR-141 following DAC treatment indicated the acquisition of epithelial cell-like characteristics in SW620 and SW620/OxR cells. Exosomal expression levels of miR-200c and miR-141 were also up-regulated by DAC treatment in SW620 and SW620/OxR but not in SW480 cells. This increase in exosomal miRNA expression negatively correlated with invasion ability. These results suggest that DNA demethylation treatment caused acquisition of epithelial cell-like characteristics in SW620 and SW620/OxR cells. Furthermore, the observed increased exosomal expression of miR-200c and miR-141 may be an indicator or biomarker candidate for mesenchymal–epithelial transition of CRC cells.
