Liposome co-incubation with cancer cells secreted exosomes (extracellular vesicles) with different proteins expressions and different uptake pathways.

ABSTRACT: We recently showed that in vitro incubation of cells with liposomes of varying compositions can increase exosome secretion and increase the yield of harvested exosomes (extracellular vesicles, EVs). This might foster their potential therapeutic implementations. In the current study, we investigated the surface proteins and the uptake of the harvested exosomes (EVs) to see if the incubation of cells with liposomes would change the biological properties of these exosomes (EVs). Interestingly, exosomes (EVs) induced by solid cationic liposomes lacked some major exosome marker proteins such as CD9, flotillin-1, annexin-A2 and EGF, and subsequently had lower levels of cellular uptake upon re-incubation with donor cancer cells. However, exosomes (EVs) induced under normal condition and by fluid cationic liposomes, displayed the entire spectrum of proteins, and exhibited higher uptake by the donor cancer cells. Although endocytosis was the major uptake pathway of exosomes (EVs) by tumor cells, endocytosis could occur via more than one mechanism. Higher exosome uptake was observed in donor B16BL6 cells than in allogeneic C26 cells, indicating that donor cells might interact specifically with their exosomes (EVs) and avidly internalize them. Taken together, these results suggest a technique for controlling the characteristics of secreted exosomes (EVs) by incubating donor cancer cells with liposomes of varying physiochemical properties.

Project description:Objective: To study the uptake by human embryos of extracellular vesicles secreted by the maternal endometrium, and to investigate their miRNA cargo, in order to describe their role in implantation and early embryo development. Design: Prospective descriptive study. Subjects: Healthy women oocyte donors with confirmed fertility and day 5 human blastocysts. Intervention: Endometrial biopsies were collected from healthy oocyte donors undergoing transvaginal ultrasound-guided cyst aspiration for oocyte retrieval. Main Outcome Measures: Extracellular vesicle were isolated from culture media of primary human endometrial epithelial cells by ultracentrifugation. Concentration and size were analyzed by nanoparticle tracking analysis, their morphology visualized by transmission electron microscopy and extracellular vesicle protein markers expression was determined by western blotting. Vesicles were fluorescently labelled with Bodipy-TR ceramide, and their uptake by human blastocysts was analyzed using confocal microscopy. Analysis of the miRNA cargo of extracellular vesicles was performed using miRNAseq, target genes of the most expressed miRNAs were annotated and functional enrichment analysis was performed. Results: Extracellular vesicle characterization revealed a size within 100-300 nm, and expression of extracellular vesicle protein markers HSP70, TSG101, CD9 and CD81. Fluorescent microscopy showed an efficient extracellular vesicle internalization by human blastocysts within 1-2h, being the fluorescent signal stronger in the hatched area of the embryo. miRNAseq described 149 annotated miRNAs and top 37 most expressed miRNAs targeted 6,592 genes. Functional enrichment analysis of these targeted genes indicated that they participate in several processes related to embryo development, oxygen metabolism, cell cycle, cell differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, cellular organization or gene expression. Among miRNAs contained in these EVs, hsa-miR-92a-3p, hsa-let-7b-5p, hsa-miR-30a-5p, hsa-miR-24-3p, hsa-miR-21-5p and hsa-let-7a-5p were highly implicated in all these biological processes. Conclusion: Data suggest that extracellular vesicles secreted by human endometrial epithelial cells are internalized by human blastocysts, and transport miRNAs to modulate biological processes related to implantation events and early embryo development. Knowledge of the communication system between human endometrium and embryo via miRNA cargo of these vesicles could describe new biomarkers of implantation success and embryo competence.
