Senescence cell-associated extracellular vesicles serve as osteoarthritis disease and therapeutic markers.

ABSTRACT: Senescent cells (SnCs) are increasingly recognized as central effector cells in age-related pathologies. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are potential cellular communication tools through which SnCs exert central effector functions in the local tissue environment. To test this hypothesis in a medical indication that could be validated clinically, we evaluated EV production from SnCs enriched from chondrocytes isolated from human arthritic cartilage. EV production increased in a dose-responsive manner as the concentration of SnCs increased. The EVs were capable of transferring senescence to nonsenescent chondrocytes and inhibited cartilage formation by non-SnCs. microRNA (miR) profiles of EVs isolated from human arthritic synovial fluid did not fully overlap with the senescent chondrocyte EV profiles. The effect of SnC clearance was tested in a murine model of posttraumatic osteoarthritis. miR and protein profiles changed after senolytic treatment but varied depending on age. In young animals, senolytic treatment altered expression of miR-34a, -30c, -125a, -24, -92a, -150, and -186, and this expression correlated with cartilage production. The primary changes in EV contents in aged mice after senolytic treatment, which only reduced pain and degeneration, were immune related. In sum, EV contents found in synovial fluid may serve as a diagnostic for arthritic disease and indicator for therapeutic efficacy of senolytic treatment.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy of clonal plasma cells in the bone marrow (BM). The microenvironment plays a key role in MM cell survival and drug resistance through release of soluble factors, expression of adhesion molecules and release of extracellular vesicles (EVs). The aim of this manuscript is to use proteomic profiling of EVs as a tool to identify circulating tumor associated markers in MM patients. First, we characterized the EV protein content obtained from different MM cell lines. Then, we established differences in protein abundance among EVs isolated from MM patient serum and BM and the serum of healthy donors. These data show that the Major Histocompatibility Complex Class I is highly enriched in EVs of MM cell lines and MM patient's serum. Next, we show that CD44 is highly expressed in the EVs isolated from the corticosteroid resistant MM cell line, MM.1R. Furthermore, CD44 was found to be differentially expressed in EVs isolated from newly diagnosed MM patients. Finally through ELISA analysis, we establish the potential of serum CD44 as a predictive biomarker of overall survival. These results support the analysis of EVs as an easily accessible source for MM biomarkers.Biological significanceExtracellular vesicles are becoming a research focus due to their roles in cancer cell biology such as immune evasion, therapeutic resistance, proliferation and metastases. While numerous studies of vesicle characterization and biology have been conducted in many cancer models, the role of EV in MM remains relatively unstudied. Here we found that EVs isolated from MM cells are enriched in MHC-1 antigen presenting complex and its binding protein β2-MG, this observation is compatible with the enhanced proteasome activity of MM cells compared to other cancers and the ability of functional MHC-1 to bind and present peptides, generated from protein degradation by the proteasome. Additionally, our experiments show that CD44 is particularly enriched in the EV fraction of corticosteroid resistant MM.1R cells and is differentially expressed in the EV fraction of MM patients. This is of high significance due to the established role of CD44 in adhesion of MM cells to BMSC and induction of IL-6, the primary cytokine for MM cell survival, secretion by the BMSC. Furthermore, ELISA assays for CD44 content from the serum of 254 newly diagnosed MM patients enrolled in a Phase 3 randomized trial show highly variable CD44 levels and those patients with >280 ng/mL serum CD44 showing a reduced overall survival time. These results suggest the potential use of CD44 as a prognostic biomarker in MM.

Project description:IntroductionDysfunction of placental development is involved in early pregnancy loss. Senescent changes have been seen in missed miscarriage, one type of pregnancy loss. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been widely implicated in the pathogenesis of diseases. In this study, we investigated the protein profiles in placental EVs derived from missed miscarriage in comparison with healthy pregnancy. We also investigated whether cargos packed into EVs are involved in the dysfunctional development of the placenta seen in missed miscarriage.MethodsProteomic analysis of placental EVs derived from healthy and missed-miscarriage placentae was performed. Three senescence-repair-associated proteins, replication protein A-70 (RPA-70), proteasome activator subunit-4 (PMSE-4), and protein activated kinase-2, (PAK-2) were examined in placental EVs and placentae, and in placental explants that had been treated with or without GW4869, by western blotting and immunohistochemistry.ResultsThe total number of proteins associated with placental EVs was not different between the two groups. However, there were 106 and 151 abundantly expressed proteins associated with placental micro- or nano-EVs from missed miscarriage in comparison with EVs from controls. Of these abundant proteins, 59 and 81 proteins in placental micro- or nano-EVs, respectively, are associated with DNA damage/repair and cell death/survival. We further found higher levels of three senescence-repair-associated proteins (RPA-70, PMSE-4, and PAK-2) associated with placental EVs, but lower levels of these proteins in missed-miscarriage placentae. Regarding inhibition of EV formation or release by GW4869, we found that the expression of these three proteins was higher in GW4869-treated placental explants from missed miscarriage.DiscussionOur data may suggest that "inadvertently" sorting of cargos and exporting proteins associated with senescence-repair by placental EVs may be associated with the dysfunction of placental development seen in missed miscarriage.

Project description:Youth fountain and aging culprits are usually sought and identified in blood but not urine. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) possess parental cell properties, circulate in blood, CSF and urine, and provide paracrine and remote cell-cell communication messengers. This study investigated whether senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and immune defense factors in EVs of urine could serve as biomarkers in elderly individuals with and without a comorbidity. Urine samples from young adults and elderly individuals with and without Parkinson disease (PD) were collected and stored at - 80 °C until studies. Urine EVs were separated from a drop-through solution and confirmed by verifying CD9, CD63, CD81 and syntenin expression. The EVs and drop-through solution were subjected to measurement of SASP cytokines and defense factors by Milliplex array assays. Many SASP cytokines and defense factors could be detected in urinary EVs but not urinary solutions. Elderly individuals (age > 60) had significantly higher levels of the SASP-associated factors IL-8, IP-10, GRO, and MCP-1 in EVs (p < 0.05). In contrast, some defense factors, IL-4, MDC and IFNα2 in EVs had significantly lower levels in elderly adults than in young adults (age < 30). Patients with and without PD exhibited a similar SASP profile in EVs but significantly lower levels of IL-10 in the EVs from patients with PD. This study used a simple device to separate urinary EVs from solution for comparisons of SASP and defense mediators between young adults and elders with and without PD. Results from this study indicate that aging signature is present in EVs circulating to urine and the signatures include higher inflammatory mediators and lower defense factors in urinary EVs but not solutions, suggesting a simple method to separate urinary EVs from solutions for searching aging mechanistic biomarkers may make prediction of aging and monitoring of anti-senolytic interventions possible.
