Individual Immune-Modulatory Capabilities of MSC-Derived Extracellular Vesicle (EV) Preparations and Recipient-Dependent Responsiveness.

ABSTRACT: Treatment with extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) have been suggested as novel therapeutic option in acute inflammation-associated disorders due to their immune-modulatory capacities. As we have previously observed differences in the cytokine profile of independent MSC-EV preparations, functional differences of MSC-EV preparations have to be considered. To evaluate the immune-modulatory capabilities of specific MSC-EV preparations, reliable assays are required to characterize the functionality of MSC-EV preparations prior to administration to a patient. To this end, we established an in vitro assay evaluating the immune-modulatory capacities of MSC-EV preparations. Here, we compared the efficacy of four independent MSC-EV preparations to modulate the induction of T cell differentiation and cytokine production after phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA)/Ionomycin stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) derived from six healthy donors. Flow cytometric analyses revealed that the four MSC-EV preparations differentially modulate the expression of surface markers, such as CD45RA, on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, resulting in shifts in the frequencies of effector and effector memory T cells. Moreover, cytokine profile in T cell subsets was affected in a MSC-EV-specific manner exclusively in CD8+ naïve T cells. Strikingly, hierarchical clustering revealed that the T cell response towards the MSC-EV preparations largely varied among the different PBMC donors. Thus, besides defining functional activity of MSC-EV preparations, it will be crucial to test whether patients intended for treatment with MSC-EV preparations are in principal competent to respond to the envisioned MSC-EV therapy.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small, heterogeneous and difficult to measure. Flow cytometry (FC) is a key technology for the measurement of individual particles, but its application to the analysis of EVs and other submicron particles has presented many challenges and has produced a number of controversial results, in part due to limitations of instrument detection, lack of robust methods and ambiguities in how data should be interpreted. These complications are exacerbated by the field's lack of a robust reporting framework, and many EV-FC manuscripts include incomplete descriptions of methods and results, contain artefacts stemming from an insufficient instrument sensitivity and inappropriate experimental design and lack appropriate calibration and standardization. To address these issues, a working group (WG) of EV-FC researchers from ISEV, ISAC and ISTH, worked together as an EV-FC WG and developed a consensus framework for the minimum information that should be provided regarding EV-FC. This framework incorporates the existing Minimum Information for Studies of EVs (MISEV) guidelines and Minimum Information about a FC experiment (MIFlowCyt) standard in an EV-FC-specific reporting framework (MIFlowCyt-EV) that supports reporting of critical information related to sample staining, EV detection and measurement and experimental design in manuscripts that report EV-FC data. MIFlowCyt-EV provides a structure for sharing EV-FC results, but it does not prescribe specific protocols, as there will continue to be rapid evolution of instruments and methods for the foreseeable future. MIFlowCyt-EV accommodates this evolution, while providing information needed to evaluate and compare different approaches. Because MIFlowCyt-EV will ensure consistency in the manner of reporting of EV-FC studies, over time we expect that adoption of MIFlowCyt-EV as a standard for reporting EV- FC studies will improve the ability to quantitatively compare results from different laboratories and to support the development of new instruments and assays for improved measurement of EVs.

Project description:BackgroundRecurrence after radiation therapy is nearly universal for glioblastomas, the most common form of adult brain cancer. The study aims to define clinically pertinent mechanisms underlying this recurrence.MethodsmicroRNA (miRNA) profiling was performed using matched pre- and post-radiation treatment glioblastoma specimens from the same patients. All specimens harbored unmethylated O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoters (umMGMT) and wild-type isocitrate dehydrogenase (wtIDH). The most altered miRNA, miR-603, was characterized.FindingsWhile nearly all miRNAs remained unchanged after treatment, decreased levels of few, select miRNAs in the post-treatment specimens were observed, the most notable of which involved miR-603. Unbiased profiling of miR-603 targets revealed insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and IGF1 receptor (IGF1R). Ionizing radiation (IR) induced cellular export of miR-603 through extracellular vesicle (EV) release, thereby de-repressing IGF1 and IGF1R. This de-repression, in turn, promoted cancer stem-cell (CSC) state and acquired radiation resistance in glioblastomas. Export of miR-603 additionally de-repressed MGMT, a DNA repair protein responsible for detoxifying DNA alkylating agents, to promote cross-resistance to these agents. Ectopic miR-603 expression overwhelmed cellular capacity for miR-603 export and synergized with the tumoricidal effects of IR and DNA alkylating agents.InterpretationProfiling of matched pre- and post-treatment glioblastoma specimens revealed altered homeostasis of select miRNAs in response to radiation. Radiation-induced EV export of miR-603 simultaneously promoted the CSC state and up-regulated DNA repair to promote acquired resistance. These effects were abolished by exogenous miR-603 expression, suggesting potential for clinical translation.FundingNIH 1R01NS097649-01, 9R44GM128223-02, 1R01CA240953-01, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation Clinical Scientist Development Award, The Sontag Foundation Distinguished Scientist Award, the Kimmel Scholar Award, and BWF 1006774.01 (C.C.C).
