Proteomic Analysis of Exosomes Secreted from Human Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Overexpressing Mesenchymal Stromal Cells.

ABSTRACT: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) mediate many therapeutic effects of stem cells during cellular therapies. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) were manufactured to overexpress the human antiprotease alpha-1 antitrypsin (hAAT) and studied to compare the EV production compared to lentivirus treated control MSCs. The goal of this study was to compare protein profiles in the EVs/exosomes of control and hAAT-MSCs using unbiased, high resolution liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry to explore differences. Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) showed that the particle size of the EVs from control MSCs or hAAT-MSCs ranged from 30 to 200 nm. Both MSCs and hAAT-MSCs expressed exosome-associated proteins, including CD63, CD81, and CD9. hAAT-MSCs also expressed high levels of hAAT. We next performed proteomic analysis of EVs from three healthy donor cell lines. Exosomes collected from cell supernatant were classified by GO analysis which showed proteins important to cell adhesion and extracellular matrix organization. However, there were differences between exosomes from control MSCs and hAAT-MSCs in cytokine signaling of the immune system, stem cell differentiation, and carbohydrate metabolism (p < 0.05). These results show that hAAT-MSC exosomes contain a different profile of paracrine effectors with altered immune function, impacts on MSC stemness, differentiation, and prevention of cell apoptosis and survival that could contribute to improved therapeutic functions.
