Characterization of the small RNA content of Trypanosoma cruzi extracellular vesicles

ABSTRACT: A growing body of evidence in mammalian cells indicates that secreted vesicles can be used to mediate intercellular communication processes by transferring various bioactive molecules, including mRNAs and microRNAs. Based on these findings, we decided to analyze whether T. cruzi-derived extracellular vesicles contain RNA molecules and performed a deep sequencing and genome-wide analysis of a size-fractioned cDNA library (16M-bM-^@M-^S40 nt) from extracellular vesicles secreted by noninfective epimastigote and infective metacyclic trypomastigote forms. Our data show that the small RNAs contained in these extracellular vesicles originate from multiple sources, including tRNAs. In addition, our results reveal that the variety and expression of small RNAs are different between parasite stages, suggesting diverse functions. Taken together, these observations call attention to the potential regulatory functions that these RNAs might play once transferred between parasites and/or to mammalian host cells. Small RNAs profiles (16-40 nt) of epimastigote-derived extracellular vesicles, metacyclic trypomastigote-derived extracellular vesicles and metacyclic trypomastigote parental cells.

RIP-Seq and RNA-Seq of an RNA-binding protein secreted by Listeria monocytogenes which activates RIG-I signaling

Project description:Secreted bacterial RNAs have recently emerged as a novel host-pathogen interaction mode. Naked RNA molecules are highly labile in the extracellular environment and must be protected by packaging into membrane vesicles or into complexes with RNA binding proteins. RNA secretion through membrane vesicles has been shown for several bacterial species but, surprisingly, proteins that bind and stabilize bacterial RNAs in the extracellular environment have not been reported yet. Here, we show that the bacterial pathogen L. monocytogenes secretes a small RNA binding protein that we named Zea. We show that Zea binds and stabilizes a subset of L. monocytogenes RNA, causing its accumulation in the extracellular medium. Zea modulates L. monocytogenes in vivo. Furthemore, Zea binds the mammalian non-self-RNA innate immunity sensor RIG-I and potentiates RIG-I-signaling during infection. This study provides a mechanism for the stability of extracellular RNA and unveils how secreted bacterial RNAs participate in the host-pathogen crosstalk.

Exosomes secreted by a nematode parasite transfer small RNAs to mammalian cells and regulate genes of the innate immune system [Litomosoides sigmodontis]

Project description:In mammalian systems, extracellular small RNAs can operate in a paracrine manner to communicate information between cells, relying on transport within vesicles. “Foreign” small RNAs derived from bacteria, plants and parasites have also been detected in mammalian body fluids, sparking interest in whether these could mediate inter-species communication. However, there is no mechanistic framework for RNA-mediated interspecies communication and the active movement of RNA via vesicles has not been shown outside of mammals. Here we demonstrate that specific microRNAs and Y RNAs are packaged into vesicles secreted by a gastrointestinal nematode, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, which naturally infects mice. Total RNA was extracted from the serum of mice infected with Litomosoides sigmodontis at 60 days post infection

Total RNA was extracted from the secretion product of adult worms and compared to the profile of small RNAs in adult worms, eggs and infective larvae.

CELL-EXO_01

Project description:In this study, we address mRNA composition of hepatocyte-like derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), using as cellular model the mouse liver derived cell line MLP29, and primary cell culture of rat hepatocyte (RH) obtained by in vivo liver perfusion. The study shows qualitative characterization of RNA, identification of transcripts and its functional characterization through gene expression array technique. To reach a deeper nowledge in the biology of EVs, we perform RNase protection assay, density gradients matching RNA with typical exosomal protein markers, and capture assays to probe that mRNA was internalized. Aim of the project: To identify transcripts present in extracellular vesicles secreted by Rat hepatocytes primary cell culture and to identify extracellular vesicles secreted by mouse hepatocyte cell line MLP29, and in this case, compare the enrichment of transcripts respect to the cell, to know if the composition in the extracellular vesicles is similar to the cell, or if their composition is not directly determined by the abundance of transcripts in the cell.

Characterization of tumor extracellular vesicle RNA cargo

Project description:Comparative RNA profiling between tumor cells and their secreted extracellular vesicles. Results revealed enrichment in genes involved in cellular migration and metastasis in extracellular vesicles, in agreement with their role as mediators of tumor progression. Mice were orthotoplically transplanted with MDA-MB-231 Breast Adenocarcinoma cells. Cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs) from the resulting tumors were isolated. EVs were characterized by electron microscopy and Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis before total RNA isolation for comparative analysis with cellular RNA. Three biological replicates were analyzed in (technical) duplicate.
