Genome-wide expression analysis of the effects of a parasitic nematode's secreted exosomes on mammalian cells.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We show that a gastrointestinal nematode that infects mice, Heligmosomoides polygyrus, secretes vesicles packaged with specific microRNAs (miRNAs) and Y RNAs as well as a nematode-specific Argonaute protein. The vesicles are of intestinal origin and are enriched for homologs of mammalian proteins found in exosomes, including heat shock proteins, tetraspanins and an ESCORT protein. The nematode-derived vesicles are internalized by mouse intestinal epithelial cells and mediate changes in expression of host genes involved in inflammation and immunity, including the receptor for the alarmin IL33 as well as a key regulator of MAPK signaling, DUSP1.
