Cells release subpopulations of exosomes with distinct molecular and functional properties

ABSTRACT: Cells release nano-sized membrane vesicles that are involved in intercellular communication by transferring biological information between cells. It is generally accepted that cells release at least three types of these extracellular vesicles (EVs): apoptotic bodies, microvesicles and exosomes. Whilst exosomes are assumed to be a homogenous population of EVs, they have a wide range of putative functions. Therefore, we hypothesized that cells release subpopulations of exosomes with distinct molecular compositions and functional properties. Exosomes were isolated from conditioned medium by differential ultracentrifugation. Sucrose density gradient centrifugation of the resulting exosome pellet revealed the presence of two distinct subpopulations, one smaller, slow migrating population (HD-Exo), and one fast migrating, larger population (LD-Exo). Interestingly, the exosome subpopulations were found to have differential effects on gene expression in recipient endothelial cells. In conclusion, we demonstrate that cells release distinct subpopulations of exosomes with unique biophysical properties and molecular compositions that elicit differential effects on recipient cells. Our data supports the heterogeneous nature of exosomes. It also highlights the importance of better discrimination between subpopulations to allow more detailed studies on exosome biology and function, and assist in the development of exosome-based diagnostics and therapeutics.

A customizable purification assay designed for small-RNA biomarker identification and functional evaluation of circulating exosomes: Exosome Capture by AnTibody of CHoice and Enzymatic Release (exo-CATCHER)

Project description:Circulating nucleic acids, encapsulated within exosomes, can provide a remote cellular snapshot of biomarkers associated with disease, however selective exosome isolation is critical. Current laboratory-based purification techniques rely on the physical properties of exosomes for selection, rather than their inherited cellular characteristics. Therefore, we established a highly selective purification assay, termed exosome Capture by AnTibody of CHoice and Enzymatic Release (exo-CATCHER), designed for high-throughput analysis of low-abundance small-RNA cargos by next-generation sequencing. We demonstrated its sensitivity by specifically isolating and sequencing small-RNA from mouse exosomes spiked into human plasma. Furthermore, we used Western blotting, nanoparticle tracking, and transmission electron microscopy to validate, quantify, and demonstrate capture and release of intact exosomes. As proof of principle, we utilized exo-CATCHER to purify serum exosomes from mildly and severely ill Covid-19 patients, identified, and validated hsa-miR-146a and hsa-miR-126-3p to be significantly downregulated in a small sample set of severely ill patients. We used exo-CATCHER to purify intact exosomes from high IgG titer convalescent sera and confirmed unexpected neutralizing properties, against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro, identified using ultracentrifuged exosomes, not observable with exosomes from sera with IgG titers below quantification level. Exo-CATCHER represents a versatile molecular assay for highly specific purification of circulating exosomes.

Endothelial cells require miR-214 to secrete exosomes that suppress senescence and induce angiogenesis in human and mouse endothelial cells

Project description:Signalling between endothelial cells, endothelial progenitor cells and stromal cells is crucial for the establishment and maintenance of vascular integrity and involves exosomes, among other signalling pathways. Exosomes are important mediators of intercellular communication in immune signalling, tumour survival, stress responses and angiogenesis. The ability of exosomes to incorporate and transfer mRNAs encoding for ‘acquired’ proteins or miRNAs repressing ‘resident’ mRNA translation suggests that they can influence the physiological behaviour of recipient cells. We here demonstrate that miR-214, a miRNA that controls endothelial cell function and angiogenesis, plays a dominant role in exosome-mediated signalling between endothelial cells. Endothelial cell-derived exosomes stimulated migration and angiogenesis in recipient cells, whereas exosomes from miR-214 depleted endothelial cells failed to stimulate these processes. Exosomes containing miR-214 repressed the expression of Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated in recipient cells, thereby preventing senescence and allowing blood vessel formation. Concordantly, specific reduction of miR-214 content in exosome-producing endothelial cells abolishes the angiogenesis the angiogenesis stimulatory function of the resulting exosomes. Collectively our data indicate that endothelial cells release miR-214 containing exosomes to stimulate angiogenesis through silencing of Ataxia Telangiectasia Mutated in neighbouring target cells. Gene expression analysis of HMEC endothelial cells exposed to supernatant containing either HMEC derived exosomes (miR-214 high), HMEC derived exosomes depleted of miR-214 (miR-214 low) or containing no exosomes (no exosomes). Each sample was analysed in duplo.

High Glucose Macrophage Exosomes Enhance Atherosclerosis by Driving Cellular Proliferation & Hematopoiesis [miRNA-Seq]

Project description:Hyperglycemia is a recognized risk factor for cardiovascular complications in diabetes. While hyperglycemia is known to cause microRNA dysregulation that contributes to cellular activation, whether it can do so through intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles (EVs) is not known. We investigated whether EVs produced under hyperglycemic conditions could communicate signaling to drive atherosclerosis. We did so by treating Apoe−/−mice with exosomes produced by bone marrow‐derived macrophages (BMDM) exposed to high glucose (BMDM–HG-exo) or control. Repeated infusion of BMDM–HG-exo led to a robust increase in hematopoiesis leading to augmented circulating myeloid cell numbers. Four weeks of BMDM–HG-exo infusions increased atherosclerotic lesion sizes with an accumulation of macrophage and apoptotic cells in the aortic root. Transcriptome-wide analysis of naïve cultured macrophages treated with BMDM–HG-exo showed an upregulation of genes associated with cell proliferation. Furthermore, BMDM–HG-exo reprogramed energy metabolism in recipient macrophages with an upregulation of glycolytic activity. Plasma EVs isolated from human subjects with type II diabetes exerted similar cell signaling when incubated with cultured human macrophages. Lastly, profiling microRNA in BMDM–HG-exo and human diabetic plasma EVs converged on miR-486 as commonly enriched. In conclusion, our findings show that EVs serve to communicate detrimental

Rapid isolation of extracellular vesicles from cell culture and biological fluids using a synthetic peptide with specific affinity for heat shock proteins

Project description:Background: Exosomes and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are increasingly recognized as important sources of biomarkers for disease study and diagnosis. Results: A synthetic peptide, Vn96, allows for capture of EVs from biological fluids using basic laboratory equipment. Conclusion: The Vn96-captured EVs are qualitatively equivalent or superior to exosomes isolated by ultracentrifugation. Significance: The Vn96 peptide provides an effective affinity-capture method for the isolation of EVs from biological fluids. In order to compare different methods of exosome purification, we compared RNA content of exosomes purified with each method. We used two different breast cancer cell lines MCF7 and MDA-MB-231. We processed data in order to identify large RNAs as well as small RNA by using different methods for the alignment

Proteomic profiling of KIT-containing EVs secreted by neoplastic human mast cells (SUB1)

Project description:Activating mutations in the receptor KIT promote the dysregulated proliferation of human mast cells (huMCs). The resulting neoplastic huMCs secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) that can transfer oncogenic KIT among other cargo into recipient cells. Despite potential contributions to diseases, KIT-containing EVs have not been thoroughly investigated. Here, we isolated KIT-EV subpopulations released by neoplastic huMCs using an immunocapture approach that selectively isolates EVs containing KIT in its proper topology. Proteomic profiling was performed on KIT-containing EVs compared to KIT-depleted EV populations, and on KIT-EVs that are microvesicle- and exosome-like.

Characterization and Small RNA Content of Extracellular Vesicles in Follicular Fluid of Developing Bovine Antral Follicles

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. Examination of small RNA population in bovine follicular fluid extracellular vesicles isolated from antral follicles
