Genetic Background and Kinetics Define Wound Bed Extracellular Vesicles in a Mouse Model of Cutaneous Injury.


ABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have an important role in mediating intercellular signaling in inflammation and affect the kinetics of wound healing, however, an understanding of the mechanisms regulating these responses remains limited. Therefore, we have focused on the use of cutaneous injury models in which to study the biology of EVs on the inflammatory phase of wound healing. For this, the foreign body response using sterile subcutaneous polyvinylalcohol (PVA) sponges is ideally suited for the parallel analysis of immune cells and EVs without the need for tissue dissociation, which would introduce additional variables. We have previously used this model to identify mediators of EV biogenesis, establishing that control of how EVs are made affects their payload and biological activity. These studies in normal mice led us to consider how conditions such as immunodeficiency and obsesity affect the profile of immune cells and EVs in this model using genetically defined mutant mice. Since EVs are intrinsically heterogenous in biological fluids, we have focused our studies on a novel technology, vesicle flow cytometry (vFC) to quantify changes in EVs in mouse models. Here, we show that myeloid-derived immune cells and EVs express proteins relevant in antigen presentation in PVA sponge implants that have distinct profiles in wildtype, immune-deficient (NOD scid) vs. diabetic (Leprdb) mice. Together, these results establish a foundation for the parallel analysis of both immune cells and EVs with technologies that begin to address the heterogeneity of intercellular communication in the wound bed.
