ECM deposition is driven by caveolin1-dependent regulation of exosomal biogenesis and cargo sorting

ABSTRACT:

The composition and physical properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influence tumor progression, but the molecular mechanisms underlying ECM layering are poorly understood. Tumor-stroma interaction is critically dependent on cell-cell communication mediated by exosomes, small vesicles generated within multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Here, we show that caveolin-1 (Cav1) is a central modulator of both exosome biogenesis and exosomal protein cargo sorting through the regulation of cholesterol content at the endosomal compartment/MVBs. Quantitative proteomics profiling revealed that Cav1 is required for exosomal sorting of ECM protein cargo subsets including tenascin-C (TnC), and for fibroblast-derived exosomes to efficiently depose ECM and promote tumor cell invasiveness. Cav1-driven exosomal ECM deposition not only promotes local stromal remodeling, but also the generation of distant ECM-enriched stromal niches. These results support a model by which Cav1 is a central regulatory hub for tumor-stroma interactions through a novel exosome-dependent ECM deposition mechanism.

Project description:Background Reduced endometrial receptivity is a major factor for impaired fertility in endometriosis (EMS). Endometrial deposition of collagen I proteins may account for poor endometrial receptivity in endometriosis. Methods We investigated the expression of collagen I expression in endometrium of endometriosis patients and in constructed EMS mice model. Effect of collagen I on ESCs was evaluated. Co-culture of exosomes with ESCs was conducted to evaluate the uptake of exosomes by different endometrial cell lines and the effect on decidualization of eutopic ESCs and embryo implantation. MiRNA expression profiles were compared between ectopic ESC derived exosomes and eutopic ESC derived exosomes. Luciferase reporter and its mutant plasmids were applied to confirm the direct target of miR-25-3p. Findings Here we found endometrial collagen I deposition with impaired decidualization in endometriosis patients and EMS mice model. Treatment of collagen I with ESCs contributed to impaired decidualization and inhibited BLS expansion in vitro. Endometriotic stromal cell-derived exosomes were detected in eutopic endometrium and the ectopic endometrial stromal cell derived exosomes were more taken-up by the same cell line in eutopic endometrium. Treatment of endometriotic stromal cell-derived exosomes increased the expression of endometrial collagen I in vitro and in vivo, while inhibited BLS expansion. Exosomal miR-25-3p was significantly increased in endometriotic stromal cell-derived exosomes compared with control group, and PTEN is a certain target of miR-25-3p. The promotion of endometrial miR-25-3p significantly increased collagen I expression in vitro through the PTEN/Akt pathway. Interpretation These results suggested that endometriotic stromal cell-derived exosomal miR-25-3p played key role in inducing endometrial collagen I deposition to impair embryo expansion in endometriosis via PTEN/Akt pathway.

Project description:BACKGROUND: Heart failure (HF) is one of the leading causes of mortality worldwide. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) including small EVs, or exosomes and their molecular cargo are known to modulate cell to cell communication during multiple cardiac diseases. However, the role of systemic EV biogenesis inhibition in the models of HF is not well documented and remains unclear. METHODS: We investigated the role of circulating exosomes during cardiac dysfunction and remodeling in a mouse transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model of HF. Importantly, we investigate the efficacy of Tipifarnib (Tip), a recently identified exosome biogenesis inhibitor that targets the critical proteins (Rab27a, nSmase2 and Alix) involved in exosome biogenesis for this mouse model of HF. In this study, 10-week-old male mice underwent TAC surgery, were randomly assigned to groups with and without Tip treatment (10 mg/kg three times/week) and monitored for 8 weeks and a comprehensive assessment was conducted through performed echocardiographic, histological, and biochemical studies. RESULTS: TAC significantly elevated circulating plasma exosomes and markedly increased cardiac left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, cardiac hypertrophy, and fibrosis. Furthermore, injection of plasma exosomes from TAC mice induced LV dysfunction and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in uninjured mice without TAC. On the contrary, treatment of Tip in TAC mice reduced circulating exosomes to baseline and remarkably improved LV functions, hypertrophy, and fibrosis. Tip treatment also drastically altered the miRNA profile of circulating post-TAC exosomes, including miR331-5p which was highly downregulated both in TAC circulating exosomes and in TAC cardiac tissue. Mechanistically, miR331-5p is crucial for inhibiting fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition by targeting HOXC8, a critical regulator of fibrosis. Tipifarnib treatment in TAC mice upregulated the expression of miR331-5p that acts as potent repressor for one of the fibrotic mechanisms mediated by HOXC8. CONCLUSIONS: Our study underscores the pathological role of exosomes in HF and fibrosis in response to pressure overload. Tipifarnib mediated inhibition of exosome biogenesis and cargo sorting may serve as a viable strategy to prevent progressive cardiac remodeling to HF.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells that accumulate in the tumor microenvironment of most cancer patients. There MDSCs suppress both adaptive and innate immune responses, hindering immunotherapies. Moreover, many cancers are accompanied by inflammation, a processes that further intensifies MDSC suppressive activity, causing aggressive tumor progression and metastasis. MDSCs collected from tumor-bearing mice profusely release nano-scale membrane-bound extracellular vesicles, called exosomes, which carry biologically active proteins between cells and contribute directly to the immune suppressive functions of MDSC. Many studies on other cell types have shown that exosomes may also carry microRNAs (miRNAs) and messenger RNAs (mRNAs) which can also be transferred to surrounding and distant cells. However, to the best of our knowledge, the miRNA and mRNA cargo of MDSC-derived exosomes has not yet been interrogated. This study aims to identify and quantify the cargo of MDSC and their immunosuppressive exosomes to gather knowledge that can offer insights on the mechanisms by which MDSCs contribute to immune suppression, focusing on the role of exosomes as intercellular communication mediators in the tumor microenvironment. In order to achieve our objective a well-established mouse model based on a conventional mammary carcinoma (4T1 cells) and heightened inflammation (4T1 transduced to express the cytokine interleukin-1b) was used. We provide evidence that MDSC-derived exosomes carry proteins, mRNAs and miRNAs. Relative quantitation demonstrated quantitative differences between the exosome cargo and the cargo of their parental cells, supporting the hypothesis that selective loading into the exosomes is possible. Additionally, quantitative and functional analyses of the exosome cargo generated under conventional and heightened inflammation conditions are consistent with clinical observations that inflammation is linked to cancer development.
