Extracellular Vesicles Activate a CD36-Dependent Signaling Pathway to Inhibit Microvascular Endothelial Cell Migration and Tube Formation.

ABSTRACT: Literature on the effect of cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EV), ?1 ?m vesicles shed from various cell types during activation or apoptosis, on microvascular endothelial cell (MVEC) signaling is conflicting. Thrombospondin-1 and related proteins induce anti-angiogenic signals in MVEC via CD36. CD36 binds EV via phosphatidylserine exposed on their surface but the effects of this interaction on MVEC functions are not known. We hypothesized that EV would inhibit angiogenic MVEC functions via CD36.EV generated in vitro from various cell types or isolated from plasma inhibited MVEC tube formation in in vitro matrigel assays and endothelial cell migration in Boyden chamber assays. Exosomes derived from the same cells did not have inhibitory activity. Inhibition of migration required endothelial cell expression of CD36. In mouse in vivo matrigel plug assays, EV inhibited cell migration into matrigel plugs in wild type but not in cd36 null animals. Annexin V, an anionic phospholipid binding protein, when incubated with EV partially reversed inhibition of migration, suggesting a phosphatidylserine-dependent effect. EV exposure induced reactive oxygen species generation in MVEC in a NADPH oxidase and Src family kinase-dependent manner, and their inhibition by apocynin and PP2, respectively, partially reversed the EV-mediated inhibition of migration. Annexin V partially reversed EV-induced reactive oxygen species generation in murine CD36 cDNA-transfected HVUEC but not in CD36-negative human umbilical vein endothelial cell.These studies establish a general inhibitory effect of EV on endothelial cell proangiogenic responses and identify a CD36-mediated mechanistic pathway through which EV inhibit MVEC migration and tube formation.

Project description:Autoreactive T lymphocytes crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) into the central nervous system (CNS) play a crucial role in the initiation of demyelination and neurodegeneration in multiple sclerosis (MS). Recently, extracellular vesicles (EV) secreted by BBB endothelial cells (BBB-EC) have emerged as a unique form of cell-to-cell communication that contributes to cerebrovascular dysfunction. However, the precise impact of different size-based subpopulations of BBB-EC-derived EV (BBB-EV) on the early stages of MS remains unclear. Therefore, our objective was to investigate the content and function of distinct BBB-EV subpopulations in regulating BBB integrity and their role in T cell transendothelial migration, both in vitro and in vivo. Our study reveals that BBB-ECs release two distinct size based EV populations, namely small EV (sEV; 30-150 nm) and large EV (lEV; 150-300 nm), with a significantly higher secretion of sEV during inflammation. Notably, the expression patterns of cytokines and adhesion markers differ significantly between these BBB-EV subsets, indicating specific functional differences in the regulation of T cell migration. Through in vitro experiments, we demonstrate that lEV, which predominantly reflect their cellular source, play a major role in BBB integrity loss and the enhanced migration of pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17.1 cells. Conversely, sEV appear to protect BBB function by inducing an anti-inflammatory phenotype in BBB-EC. These findings align with our in vivo data, where the administration of sEV to mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) results in lower disease severity compared to the administration of lEV, which exacerbates disease symptoms. In conclusion, our study highlights the distinct and opposing effects of BBB-EV subpopulations on the BBB, both in vitro and in vivo. These findings underscore the need for further investigation into the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of BBB-EV in the context of MS.

Project description:BackgroundA recent study has reported that patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are more susceptible to coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD), which may predict major adverse cardiac events. However, little is known regarding the causes of CMD during NAFLD. In this study, we aimed to explore the role of hepatic small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in regulating the endothelial dysfunction of coronary microvessels during NAFLD.ResultsWe established two murine NAFLD models by feeding mice a methionine-choline-deficient (MCD) diet for 4 weeks or a high-fat diet (HFD) for 16 weeks. We found that the NOD-like receptor family, pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome-dependent endothelial hyperpermeability occurred in coronary microvessels during both MCD diet and HFD-induced NAFLD. The in vivo and in vitro experiments proved that novel-microRNA(miR)-7-abundant hepatic sEVs were responsible for NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent endothelial barrier dysfunction. Mechanistically, novel-miR-7 directly targeted lysosomal associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1) and promotes lysosomal membrane permeability (LMP), which in turn induced Cathepsin B-dependent NLRP3 inflammasome activation and microvascular endothelial hyperpermeability. Conversely, a specific novel-miR-7 inhibitor markedly improved endothelial barrier integrity. Finally, we proved that steatotic hepatocyte was a significant source of novel-miR-7-contained hepatic sEVs, and steatotic hepatocyte-derived sEVs were able to promote NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent microvascular endothelial hyperpermeability through novel-miR-7.ConclusionsHepatic sEVs contribute to endothelial hyperpermeability in coronary microvessels by delivering novel-miR-7 and targeting the LAMP1/Cathepsin B/NLRP3 inflammasome axis during NAFLD. Our study brings new insights into the liver-to-microvessel cross-talk and may provide a new diagnostic biomarker and treatment target for microvascular complications of NAFLD.
