Project description:Identification of transcriptional profile of several genes involved in diabetes in islet-derived extracellular vesicles (Evs). Recently, EVs are identified as a new mechanism in cell-to-cell communication by transfer of protein and genic information (mRNA, microRNA). Their role is under investigation in immunology, stem cell and cancer, but not in islets and diabetes. The aim of this experiment is to identify mRNA transcripts (in particular, mRNA transcripts involved in diabetes pathophysiology) present in islet Evs.

Project description:Human pancreatic islets were isolated from pancreas of deceased donors by Ricordi's procedure and cultured in CMRL 1066 medium additioned with human albumin. EVs were isolated from conditioned medium derived from islet culture after isolation. Once isolated, RNA of islets and islet-derived EVs was extracted and analyzed for microRNA expression within 48 hours after isolation.

Project description:The isolation and proteomics characterization of Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) from body fluids represents a stimulating challenge to improve our knowledge of biology, considering the vast heterogeneity in terms of phenotype in vivo. Within a complex and dynamic scenario of EVs isolation and characterization protocols, we have recently demonstrated how the Fluorescence-activated Cell Sorting (FACS) strategy can be adopted to isolate total EVs from untouched body fluids enabling proteomics characterization. Here, we reported for the first time the proteomics characterization of EVs single-phenotype by sorting labelled-recognition events related to Leucocyte-derived EVs (Leuko EVs) by combining lipophilic dye/phalloidin and anti-CD45+ antibodies from peripheral blood and tears of enrolled volunteers. More than 90% of proteins identified in both biological fluids were mainly referred to leukocyte phenotype. This strategy was applied to carry out a label-free proteomics on Leuko EVs from tears of Multiple Sclerosis (MuS) patients, demonstrating as they are enriched with an encoded protein cargo, reflecting the neuroinflammatory condition of MuS (TGFB1 and NFE2L2, upstream regulators activated) and the endothelial cell proliferation together with an increase of vascular networks (AGNPT2 and VEGF, upstream regulators activated) which in turn reflect pro-angiogenic processes predicted as significantly up-regulated downstream effects. Our data showed that FACS-Proteomics strategy for EVs single phenotype characterization could have groundbreaking avenue for biomarker discovery, exalting the clinical value of tears EVs and helping in a better understanding of the EV-mediated processes in vivo.

Project description:Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are associated with aberrant gene expression and epigenetic mechanisms. In particular, de novo DNA methylation is typically linked to gene silencing, but its role in heart disease remains not fully understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are active components in cellular communication for their ability to carry a plethora of signalling biomolecules, thus representing a promising new diagnostic/therapeutic approach in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Indeed, there is the need of novel biomarkers for ACS prediction and timely detection. Purpose: We hypothesized that specific epigenetic signals can be carried by EVs. In this regard, we isolated and characterized circulating EVs from ACS patients and evaluated their potential role to influence DNA methylation in target cells. Methods: Circulating EVs were recovered, by ultracentrifugation, from plasma samples of 19 ACS patients and 50 healthy subjects (HS). Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blot (WB) were used to confirm the EVs integrity and purity. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of volunteer donors were treated with both ACS and HS derived EVs and genomic DNA was extracted to perform epigenome wide analysis through Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. ShinyGO, PANTHER, and STRING tools were interrogated to perform GO and PPI network analyses. Flow Cytometry, qRT-PCR, and WB analysis were also performed to evaluate and validate both intra-vesicular and intra-cellular signals. Results: Plasma ACS-derived EVs showed a significant up-regulation of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) gene expression levels as compared to HS (P<0.001). Specifically, de novo methylation transcripts, as DNMT3A and DNMT3B were significantly increased in plasma ACS-EVs. DNA methylation analysis of PBMCs from volunteer donors treated with HS- and ACS-derived EVs showed that RNF166 and CCND3 genes resulted the most hyper- and hypo-methylated, respectively, after by ACS-EV treatment. In addition, PPI network analysis specifically evidenced the subnetwork with SRC, as a hub gene, connecting it to NOTCH1, FOXO3, CDC42, IKBKG, RXRA, DGKG, known as important genes already involved in the onset of CVDs. Surprising, other novel genes, BAIAP2, SYP, CHL1, and SHB, which were hypomethylated, were found significantly overexpressed in PBMCs (P<0.005), underlying the fundamental modulating properties of EV cargo in atherosclerosis. Conclusions: These findings support the significant role of ACS plasma-derived EVs, inducing de novo DNA methylation signals, and modulating specific signaling pathways in target cells.

Project description:Male Sprague Dawley adult rats were subjected to a cervical hemisection at C2 (C2HS). Costal diaphragm (both ipsilesional and contralesional sides) were assessed under control conditions (sham surgery) and at 1 and 7 days post-C2HS. We used SA Biosciences Rat Skeletal Muscle Development and Disease RT2 Profiler PCR Array to quantitate gene expression of muscle atrophy and regeneration-relevant genes from the uninjured and injured tissues on the indicated sides and at the indicated timepoints post-lesion. qPCR gene expression profiling. Tissue was derived from the costal diaphragm from control animals, and from contralesional and ipsilesional sides at days 1 and 7 post-lesion. RNA was extracted from flash-frozen tissue (TRIzol reagent) and quantitated via spectrophotometry. Equal amount total RNA from each donor was pooled prior to gene expression analysis. N=3 or 4 rats per condition. Four genes in the array study appeared to undergo unphysiologic increases in expression following SCI: Mmp9, Leptin, activin A and alpha actinin. For these genes, expression levels in control tissue were detectable but extremely low, thus fold-increases following SCI are numerically exaggerated. Therefore, we cannot explicitly comment on the physiologic scale of this response
