RNA-seq: Stress increases sperm respiration and motility in mice and men

ABSTRACT: Cumulative stress and adverse experiences precipitate changes in overall health, disrupting homeostasis and increasing disease. Stress is a known driver of allostatic changes, allowing for cellular adaptation in the face of environmental challenges. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating allostasis and long-term changes in intra- and intercellular signaling important for health are not clear. In males, chronic stress produces lasting changes in epididymal epithelial cell (EEC) intercellular signaling and extracellular vesicle (EV) composition important for sperm maturation. Here we used this system to assess the mechanisms regulating allostasis and the role of EVs to impact downstream target cell physiology and function. We found that prior corticosterone treatment decreased EEC energy requirements and altered mitochondrial ultrastructure, with changes in the cellular set point involving the mitochondrial complex I. CUT&RUN sequencing and gene co-expression network analysis separately identified significant epigenetic and transcriptomic reprogramming important for mitochondrial function. We found this new EEC allostatic state regulated EV intercellular communication with sperm, where EVs isolated from stress EECs increased sperm mitochondrial respiration, ultimately increasing sperm motility. These data support a signaling pathway by which a new cellular allostatic setpoint can be communicated to other cells, affecting their function.

Proteomic signatures of extracellular vesicles secreted by non-mineralizing and mineralizing human osteoblasts and stimulation of tumor cell growth

Project description:Beyond forming bone, osteoblasts play pivotal roles in various biological processes, including hematopoiesis and bone metastasis. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently been implicated in intercellular communication via transfer of proteins and nucleic acids between cells. Here, we focused on the proteomic characterization of non-mineralizing (NMOBs) and mineralizing (MOBs) human osteoblast (SV-HFOs) EVs and investigated their effect on human prostate cancer (PC3) cells by microscopic, proteomic and gene expression analyses. Proteomic analysis showed that 97% of the proteins were shared among NMOB and MOB EVs, and 30% were novel osteoblast-specific EV proteins. Label-free quantification demonstrated mineralization stage-dependent five-fold enrichment of 59 and 451 EV proteins in NMOBs and MOBs, respectively. Interestingly, bioinformatic analyses of the osteoblast EV proteomes and EV-regulated prostate cancer gene expression profiles showed that they converged on pathways involved in cell survival and growth. This was verified by in vitro proliferation assays where osteoblast EV uptake led to two-fold increase in PC3 cell growth compared to cell-free culture medium-derived vesicle controls. Our findings elucidate the mineralization stage-specific protein content of osteoblast-secreted EVs, show a novel way by which osteoblasts communicate with prostate cancer, and open up innovative avenues for therapeutic intervention. PC3 cells were treated with extracellular vesicles from non-mineralizing and mineralizing SV-HFOs for three different incubation times (4hrs, 24hrs, 48hr)

Reproductive tract extracellular vesicles are sufficient to transmit intergenerational stress and program neurodevelopment

Project description:We report reproductive tract extracellular vesicles (EVs) transmit information regarding stress in the paternal environment to sperm, ultimately altering fetal development. Using intracytoplasmic sperm injection, we found that sperm incubated with EVs collected from stress-treated epididymal epithelial cells produced offspring with altered neurodevelopment and adult stress reactivity. Proteomic and transcriptomic assessment of these EVs showed dramatic changes in protein and miRNA content long after stress treatment had ended.

Comparative transcriptomic analysis of human and Drosophila extracellular vesicles reveals extensive conservation

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles containing specific repertoires of genetic material. In mammals, EVs can mediate the horizontal transfer of various cargos and signaling molecules, notably miRNA and mRNA species. Whether this form of intercellular communication prevails in other metazoans remains unclear. Here, we report the first parallel comparative morphologic and transcriptomic characterization of EVs from Drosophila and human cellular models. Electronic microscopy revealed that Drosophila, like human cells release exosome-like EVs with diameter ranging from 30 to 200 nm, which contain complex populations of transcripts. RNA-seq identified abundant ribosomal RNA pseudogenes and retrotransposons in human and Drosophila EVs. Vault RNAs and Y RNAs abounded in human samples, whereas small nucleolar RNAs involved in pseudouridylation were most prevalent in Drosophila EVs. Numerous mRNAs were identified, largely consisting of exonic sequences displaying full-length read coverage and enriched for translation and electronic transport chain functions. By analogy with human systems, these extensive similarities suggest that EVs could also enable RNA-mediated intercellular communication in Drosophila. We performed RNA-seq on extracellular vesicles purified from of human and Drosophila cell line cultures. S2R+ and D17 Drosophila EVs were analyzed, along with human A431 and HepG2 EVs. No ribosomal RNA depletion or polyA selection was performed on EV samples. For comparative analyses, we also analyzed total cellular RNA from Drosophila D17 and human HepG2. Ribodepletion was performed on cellular samples.

Transcriptome changes due to nuclear penetration of cancer extracellular vesicles

Project description:Extracellular membrane vesicles (EVs) function as vehicles of intercellular communication in autocrine or paracrine manner. We report that cancer-derived EV biomaterials reach nuclei of human melanoma and breast carcinoma cells and multipotent mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) through Rab7+ late endosome subdomains that penetrate into nuclear envelope invaginations. MSCs were exposed to cancer Evs in the presence or absence of drugs that block nucler import or export through the nuclear pores. Depletion of CD9 or inhibition of importin β1, two EV-associated molecules, abrogated the nuclear localization of EV-derived biomaterials and EV-induced early changes in MSC transcriptome notably in genes involved in inflammation. Also inhibition of nuclear export by leptomycin B inhibited early changes in MSC transcriptome. This novel cellular pathway may become a cancer therapeutic target.

The effect of colorectal cancer (CRC) organoid-derived extracellular vesicles on the expression profile of fibroblasts

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EV) are membrane-surrounded vesicles secreted by cells that carry biologically important molecules to the target cells. EVs form a heterogenous group and they represent a novel way of intercellular communication. To study the importance of colorectal cancer (CRC)-derived EVs on stromal fibroblasts, we applied CRC patient-derived 3D organoid cultures and commercially available human colon fibroblasts. We studied the gene expression changes in fibroblasts in the presence and absence pf CRC-derived EVs.

The profile of miRNAs in lung fibroblast-derived extracellular vesicles from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients or non-IPF individuals.

Project description:Accelerated senescence in lung epithelial cells is known to play a key role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). However, the exact mechanisms underlying the IPF-related epithelial cell phenotype have yet to be elucidated. Increasing evidence supports the concept that extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes and microvesicles, mediate intercellular communication that contributes to diverse aspects of physiology and pathogenesis. Here, we demonstrate that lung fibroblasts (LFs) from IPF patients accelerate epithelial cell senescence via EV-mediated transfer of LF-derived pathogenic cargo to lung epithelial cells. Mechanistically, IPF LF-derived EVs increase mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) and associated mitochondrial damage in lung epithelial cells, leading to mtROS-mediated activation of the DNA damage response and subsequent epithelial cell senescence. We show that IPF LF-derived EVs contain elevated levels of miR-23b-3p and miR-494-3p that are responsible for suppressing SIRT3, resulting in the EV-induced phenotypic changes of lung epithelial cells. Furthermore, we observe that miR-23b-3p and miR-494-3p expression increases in lung epithelial cells from IPF patients’ lungs. Finally, the levels of miR-23b-3p and 494-3p found in IPF LF-derived EVs correlate positively with IPF disease severity. These findings reveal that the accelerated epithelial cell mitochondrial damage and senescence observed during IPF pathogenesis are caused by a novel mechanism in which SIRT3 is suppressed by miR-containing EVs derived from IPF fibroblasts.

Growth media conditions influence the secretion route and release levels of engineered extracellular vesicles

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanosized cell-derived vesicles found in all bodily fluids which provide a route of intercellular communication by transmitting biological cargo. While EVs offer promise as therapeutic agents, the molecular mechanisms of EV biogenesis are not yet fully elucidated, in part due to the concurrence of numerous interwoven pathways which give rise to heterogenous EV populations in vitro. The effects of conditions in the cellular environment on EV production are of particular interest. In this study, we utilize a quantifiable EV-engineering approach to investigate how various cell media conditions alter EV production. The presence of serum, exogenous EVs, and other signaling factors in cell media alters EV production on physical, molecular, and transcriptional levels. Further, we demonstrate that exosome biogenesis pathways are the major factors contributing to EV production under optimized conditions. Our findings suggest a novel understanding to the mechanisms underlying EV production in cell culture which can be applied to develop advanced EV production methods.

Peptide-based capture-and-release purification of extracellular vesicles and statistical algorithm enabled quality assessment

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained significant attention in the field of extracellular communication, holding promise as intercellular messengers and diagnostic biomarkers. However, the challenges in isolating and purifying EVs from complex biological samples have hindered their widespread utility. This study presents a novel EV isolation strategy leveraging bioinformatics, utilizing the pH-low insertion peptide (pHLIP) to capture and release EVs under controlled conditions. The pHLIP-magnetic bead approach was developed to achieve efficient EV isolation, addressing the persistent issue of EV isolation method comparability. EVs from human plasma were isolated and characterized using various techniques, offering insights into the proposed isolation method's efficacy. A data science-driven statistical metric integrating multiple characterizations was applied to enable direct comparisons between different isolation methods. Next generation sequencing was applied to examine how the observed RNA-population differences across isolated EVs may lead researchers to different conclusions. This research contributes to the advancement of reliable and rigorous EV isolation methods and their potential clinical applications.
