Lipidomic profiling of extracellular vesicles derived from prostate and prostate cancer cell lines.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are produced and secreted from most cells of the body and can be recovered in biological fluids. Although there has been extensive characterisation of the protein and nucleic acid component of EVs, their lipidome has received little attention and may represent a unique and untapped source of biomarkers for prostate cancer diagnosis and prognosis.

Methods

EVs were isolated from non-tumourigenic (RWPE1), tumourigenic (NB26) and metastatic (PC-3) prostate cell lines. Lipids were extracted and subsequently used for targeted lipidomics analysis for the quantitation of molecular lipid species.

Results

A total of 187 molecular lipid species were quantitatively identified in EV samples showing differential abundance between RWPE1, NB26 and PC-3 EV samples. Fatty acids, glycerolipids and prenol lipids were more highly abundant in EVs from non-tumourigenic cells, whereas sterol lipids, sphingolipids and glycerophospholipids were more highly abundant in EVs from tumourigenic or metastatic cells.

Conclusions

This study identified differences in the molecular lipid species of prostate cell-derived EVs, increasing our understanding of the changes that occur to the EV lipidome during prostate cancer progression. These differences highlight the importance of characterising the EV lipidome, which may lead to improved diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers for prostate cancer.

Distinct Small RNA Signatures in Extracellular Vesicles Derived from Breast Cancer Cell Lines.

Project description:Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease, and different subtypes of breast cancer show distinct cellular morphology, gene expression, metabolism, motility, proliferation, and metastatic potential. Understanding the molecular features responsible for this heterogeneity is important for correct diagnosis and better treatment strategies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their associated molecules have gained much attention as players in intercellular communication, ability to precondition specific organs for metastatic invasion, and for their potential role as circulating cancer biomarkers. EVs are released from the cells and contain proteins, DNA, and long and small RNA species. Here we show by high-throughput small RNA-sequencing that EVs from nine different breast cancer cell lines share common characteristics in terms of small RNA content that are distinct from their originating cells. Most strikingly, a highly abundant small RNA molecule derived from the nuclear 28S rRNA is vastly enriched in EVs. The miRNA profiles in EVs correlate with the cellular miRNA expression pattern, but with a few exceptions that includes miR-21. This cancer-associated miRNA is retained in breast cancer cell lines. Finally, we report that EVs from breast cancer cell lines cluster together based on their small RNA signature when compared to EVs derived from other cancer cell lines. Altogether, our data demonstrate that breast cancer cell lines manifest a specific small RNA signature in their released EVs. This opens up for further evaluation of EVs as breast cancer biomarkers.

Lipidomic landscape of lipokines in adipose tissue derived extracellular vesicles.

Project description:Introduction: Adipose tissue-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs-AT) are recognized as critical mediators of metabolic alterations in obesity-related diseases. However, few studies have focused on the role of lipids within EVs-AT in the development of obesity-related diseases. Methods: In this study, we performed a targeted lipidomic analysis to compare the lipidome of EVs secreted by inguinal white adipose tissue (EVs-iWAT), epididymal white adipose tissue (EVs-eWAT), and interscapular brown adipose tissue (EVs-BAT) in lean and obese mice. Results: We uncovered a comprehensive lipidomic map, revealing the diversity and specific lipid sorting in EVs-iWAT, EVs-eWAT, and EVs-BAT in obesity. Biological function analyses suggested that lipids encapsulated within EVs-AT of obese individuals might correlate with metabolism, pro-inflammatory response, and insulin resistance. These effects were particularly pronounced in EVs-eWAT and EVs-BAT. Conclusion: Our findings indicated that EVs-AT serves as novel carriers for lipokines, thereby mediating the biological functions of EVs-AT. This study holds promise for the identification of new biomarkers for obesity-related diseases and the development of new strategies to combat metabolic diseases.

Diagnostic and prognostic potential of the proteomic profiling of serum-derived extracellular vesicles in prostate cancer.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) and their cargo represent an intriguing source of cancer biomarkers for developing robust and sensitive molecular tests by liquid biopsy. Prostate cancer (PCa) is still one of the most frequent and deadly tumor in men and analysis of EVs from biological fluids of PCa patients has proven the feasibility and the unprecedented potential of such an approach. Here, we exploited an antibody-based proteomic technology, i.e. the Reverse-Phase Protein microArrays (RPPA), to measure key antigens and activated signaling in EVs isolated from sera of PCa patients. Notably, we found tumor-specific protein profiles associated with clinical settings as well as candidate markers for EV-based tumor diagnosis. Among others, PD-L1, ERG, Integrin-β5, Survivin, TGF-β, phosphorylated-TSC2 as well as partners of the MAP-kinase and mTOR pathways emerged as differentially expressed endpoints in tumor-derived EVs. In addition, the retrospective analysis of EVs from a 15-year follow-up cohort generated a protein signature with prognostic significance. Our results confirm that serum-derived EV cargo may be exploited to improve the current diagnostic procedures while providing potential prognostic and predictive information. The approach proposed here has been already applied to tumor entities other than PCa, thus proving its value in translational medicine and paving the way to innovative, clinically meaningful tools.

Analysis and Simulation of Glioblastoma Cell Lines-Derived Extracellular Vesicles Metabolome.

Project description:Glioblastoma (GBM) is one of the most aggressive cancers of the central nervous system. Despite current advances in non-invasive imaging and the advent of novel therapeutic modalities, patient survival remains very low. There is a critical need for the development of effective biomarkers for GBM diagnosis and therapeutic monitoring. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) produced by GBM tumors have been shown to play an important role in cellular communication and modulation of the tumor microenvironment. As GBM-derived EVs contain specific "molecular signatures" of their parental cells and are able to transmigrate across the blood-brain barrier into biofluids such as the blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), they are considered as a valuable source of potential diagnostic biomarkers. Given the relatively harsh extracellular environment of blood and CSF, EVs have to endure and adapt to different conditions. The ability of EVs to adjust and function depends on their lipid bilayer, metabolic content and enzymes and transport proteins. The knowledge of EVs metabolic characteristics and adaptability is essential for their utilization as diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The main aim of this study was to determine the metabolome of small EVs or exosomes derived from different GBM cells and compare to the metabolic profile of their parental cells using NMR spectroscopy. In addition, a possible flux of metabolic processes in GBM-derived EVs was simulated using constraint-based modeling from published proteomics information. Our results showed a clear difference between the metabolic profiles of GBM cells, EVs and media. Machine learning analysis of EV metabolomics, as well as flux simulation, supports the notion of active metabolism within EVs, including enzymatic reactions and the transfer of metabolites through the EV membrane. These results are discussed in the context of novel GBM diagnostics and therapeutic monitoring.

Transcriptomic profiling of urine extracellular vesicles reveals alterations of CDH3 in prostate cancer.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EV) are emerging structures with promising properties for intercellular communication. In addition, the characterization of EV in biofluids is an attractive source of non-invasive diagnostic, prognostic and predictive biomarkers. Here we show that urinary EV (uEV) from prostate cancer (PCa) patients exhibit genuine and differential physical and biological properties compared to benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH). Importantly, transcriptomics characterization of uEVs led us to define the decreased abundance of Cadherin 3, type 1 (CDH3) transcript in uEV from PCa patients. Tissue and cell line analysis strongly suggested that the status of CDH3 in uEVs is a distal reflection of changes in the expression of this cadherin in the prostate tumor. CDH3 was negatively regulated at the genomic, transcriptional, and epigenetic level in PCa. Our results reveal that uEVs could represent a non-invasive tool to inform about the molecular alterations in PCa.

Metastatic state of parent cells influences the uptake and functionality of prostate cancer cell-derived extracellular vesicles.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including microvesicles and exosomes, mediate intercellular signalling which has a profound role in cancer progression and in the development of metastasis. Internalisation of EVs can prompt functional changes in the recipient cells, the nature of which depends on the molecular composition and the cargo of the EVs. We hypothesised that the metastatic stage of cancerous parent cells would determine the uptake efficacy and the subsequent functional effects of the respective cancer cell-derived EVs. To address this question, we compared the internalisation of EVs derived from two metastatic site-derived prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3 and LNCaP), human telomerase reverse transcriptase immortalised primary malignant prostate epithelial cells (RC92a/hTERT), and a benign epithelial prostate cell line (PNT2). EVs isolated from the metastatic site-derived PC-3 and LNCaP cells were more efficiently internalised by the PC-3 and PNT2 cells compared to the EVs from the primary malignant RC92a/hTERT cells or the benign PNT2 cells, as determined by high content microscopy, confocal microscopy, and flow cytometry. EV uptake was also influenced by the phase of the cell cycle, so that an increased EV-derived fluorescence signal was observed in the cells at the G2/M phase compared to the G0/G1 or S phases. Finally, differences were also observed in the functions of the recipient cells based on the EV source. Proliferation of PNT2 cells and to a lesser extent also PC-3 cells was enhanced particularly by the EVs from the metastatic-site-derived prostate cancer cells in comparison to the EVs from the benign cells or primary cancer cells, whereas migration of PC-3 cells was enhanced by all cancerous EVs.
