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.

Project description:Identification of transcriptional profile of several genes involved in diabetes in islet-derived extracellular vesicles (Evs). Recently, EVs are identified as a new mechanism in cell-to-cell communication by transfer of protein and genic information (mRNA, microRNA). Their role is under investigation in immunology, stem cell and cancer, but not in islets and diabetes. The aim of this experiment is to identify mRNA transcripts (in particular, mRNA transcripts involved in diabetes pathophysiology) present in islet Evs.

Project description:Exosomes and microvesicles (i.e., extracellular vesicles; EVs) have been identified within ovarian follicular fluid, and recent evidence suggests that EVs are able to elicit profound effects on ovarian cell function. While existence of miRNA within EVs has been reported, it remains unknown if EV size and concentration as well as their cargos (i.e., proteins and RNA) change during antral follicle growth. Extracellular vesicles isolated from follicular fluid of small, medium and large bovine follicles were similar in size, while concentration of EVs decreased progressively as follicle size increased. Electron microscopy indicated a highly purified population of the lipid bilayer enclosed vesicles that were enriched in exosome biomarkers including CD81 and Alix. Small RNA sequencing identified a large number of known and novel miRNAs that changed in the EVs of different size follicles. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis (IPA) indicated that miRNA abundant in small follicle EV preparations were associated with cell proliferation pathways, while those miRNA abundant in large follicle preparations were related to inflammatory response pathways. These studies are the first to demonstrate that EVs change in their levels and makeup during antral follicle development and point to the potential for a unique vesicle-mediated cell-to-cell communication network within the ovarian follicle.

Project description:Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia. Extracellular amyloid β (Aβ) plaques and intracellular Tau-containing neurofibrillary tangles are major AD lesions that identify Alzheimer’s pathology and to neuronal loss. However, given that these structures are also seen in cognitively normal persons (healthy controls, HC) and in persons who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI), extensive efforts have been undertaken to identify other diagnostic or prognostic indicators. Here, we characterized the RNA contents of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in the plasma of age-matched individuals who are healthy or have MCI or AD. Using RNA sequencing analysis, we found that mitochondrial (mt)RNAs, including MT-ND1 through MT-ND6 and other protein-coding and noncoding mtRNAs, were strikingly elevated in MCI- and AD-associated plasma EVs compared with healthy control EVs. In cultured cells derived from astrocytes, microglia, and neurons, exposure to the toxic conditions in the AD environment (Aβ fibers and H2O2), EVs contained mitochondrial structures (as detected by electron microscopy) as well as mitochondrial RNAs. We propose that in the MCI and AD brain environment, toxicity causing mitochondrial damage results in the packaging of mitochondrial components for export in EVs, and further propose that mitochondrial RNAs in plasma EVs are robust diagnostic and prognostic markers in AD.

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small RNA molecules that regulate expression of specific mRNA targets. They can be released from cells, often encapsulated within extracellular vesicles (EVs), and therefore have the potential to mediate intercellular communication. It has been suggested that certain miRNAs may be selectively exported, although the mechanism has yet to be identified. Manipulation of the miRNA content of EVs will be important for future therapeutic applications. We therefore wished to assess which endogenous miRNAs are enriched in EVs and how effectively an overexpressed miRNA would be exported. Small RNA libraries from HEK293T cells and vesicles before or after transfection with a vector for miR-146 overexpression were analysed by deep sequencing. A subset of miRNAs was found to be enriched in EVs. The global expression data provided by deep sequencing confirms that specific miRNAs are enriched in EVs released by HEK293T cells. Cells were transfected with a plasmid to direct overexpression of miR-146a. Extracellular vesicles were isolated by ultracentrifugation from untreated and transfected cells. RNA was isolated from one sample each of untreated and transfected cells and vesicles.Small RNA libraries were prepared for sequencing.

Project description:Exercise has emerged as a powerful variable that can improve cognitive function and delay age-associated cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD), however, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. To determine if protective mechanisms may occur at the transcriptional level, we used microarrays to investigate the relationship between physical activity levels and gene expression patterns in the cognitively-intact aged human hippocampus. In parallel, hippocampal gene expression patterns associated with Aging and AD were assessed using publicly available microarray data profiling hippocampus from young (20-59 yrs), cognitively-intact aging (73-95 yrs) and age-matched AD cases. To identify “anti-Aging/AD” transcription patterns associated with physical activity, probesets significantly associated with both physical activity and Aging/AD were identified and their directions of expression change in each condition were compared. Remarkably, of the 2138 probesets significant in both datasets, nearly 95% showed opposite transcription patterns with physical activity compared to Aging/AD. The majority (>70%) of these anti-Aging/AD genes showed increased expression with physical activity and decreased expression in Aging/AD. Enrichment analysis of the anti-Aging/AD genes showing increased expression in association with physical activity revealed strong overrepresentation of mitochondrial energy production and synaptic function, along with axonal function and myelin integrity. Synaptic genes were notably enriched for synaptic vesicle priming, release and recycling, glutamate and GABA signaling and synaptic spine plasticity. Anti-Aging/AD genes showing decreased expression in association with physical activity were enriched for transcription-related function. These data suggest that physical activity preserves a more youthful profile in the hippocampus across multiple biological processes, providing a potential molecular foundation for how physical activity can delay age- and AD-related decline of hippocampal function.

Project description:Insulin is a potent pleiotropic hormone that affects processes such as cellular growth, differentiation, apoptosis, ion flux, energy expenditure, and carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. We used microarrays to detail the global programme of gene expression underlying the influence of insulin in human skeletal muscle collected from different human individuals including 20 insulin sensitive, 20 insulin resistant and 15 diabetic patients. We identified distinct classes of up-regulated and down-regulated genes during these processes. The pathophysiology of obesity represents an imbalance between a high energy intake and/or low energy expenditure. Resting energy expenditure (REE) comprises 60-75% of total energy expenditure. The respiratory quotient (RQ) is used to estimate fuel partitioning between fat and carbohydrate as preferred substrates for energy generation, and fuel preferences to generate REE also exhibit individual variation. Genes influencing REE and RQ could represent candidate genes for obesity, Metabolic Syndrome, and Type 2 Diabetes due to the involvement of these traits in energy balance and substrate oxidation. We used microarrays to explore the molecular bases for individual variation in REE and fuel partitioning as reflected by RQ. We performed microarray studies in human vastus lateralis muscle biopsies from 40 healthy subjects with measured REE and RQ values. We identified genes significantly correlated with REE and RQ, respectively. Human skeletal muscle samples were biopsied from different individuals before and after insulin treatment for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

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.
