Project description:The immunological synapse is a molecular hub that facilitates the delivery of three activation signals, namely antigen, costimulation/corepression and cytokines, from antigen-presenting cells (APC) to T cells. T cells release a fourth class of signaling entities, trans-synaptic vesicles (tSV), to mediate bidirectional communication. Here we present bead-supported lipid bilayers (BSLB) as versatile synthetic APCs to capture, characterize and advance the understanding of tSV biogenesis. Specifically, the integration of juxtacrine signals, such as CD40 and antigen, results in the adaptive tailoring and release of tSV, which differ in size, yields and immune receptor cargo compared with steadily released extracellular vesicles (EVs). Focusing on CD40L+ tSV as model effectors, we show that PD-L1 trans-presentation together with TSG101, ADAM10 and CD81 are key in determining CD40L vesicular release. Lastly, we find greater RNA-binding protein and microRNA content in tSV compared with EVs, supporting the specialized role of tSV as intercellular messengers.

Project description:In this study, we characterized the proteomic composition of extracellular vesicles released from human THP-1 monocytes challenged with the pneumococcal pore-forming toxin, pneumolysin. We found that the vesicles shed from pneumolysin challenged cells are selectively enriched in key inflammatory host proteins relative to vesicles from untreated cells.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are biomolecule carriers for intercellular communication in health and disease. Nef is a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) virulence factor that is released from cells within EVs and is present in plasma EVs of HIV-1 infected individuals. We performed a quantitative proteomic analysis to fully characterize the Nef-induced changes in protein composition of T cell-derived EVs and identify novel host targets of HIV. Several proteins with well-described roles in infection or not previously associated with HIV pathogenesis were specifically modulated by Nef in EVs. Among the downregulated proteins are the interferon-induced transmembrane 1, 2 and 3 proteins (IFITM1-3), broad-spectrum antiviral factors known to be cell-to-cell transferable by EVs. Our data establish Nef as a modulator of EVs' global protein content and as an HIV factor that antagonizes IFITMs.

Project description:The fibroblast-populated 3D collagen matrix has been used to study the effect of mechanical stress on cell fate; this process is relevant to the fields of wound healing and tissue engineering. Gene array data was generated from mechanically stressed vs. stress-released matrices. The parameters of the collagen matrix model were: collagen type = bovine type I; collagen concentration = 1.5 mg/mL; initial matrix volume = 0.2 mL; initial matrix diameter = 11 mm (cultured in 24-well plates); cell type = human foreskin fibroblast, passage <10; initial matrix cell concentration = 1,000,000 cell/mL (200,000 cell/matrix); culture medium = 5% FBS in DMEM with 1 M-BM-5g/mL ascorbate. Matrices (n = 6 per experimental group) were incubated for 24 hr in the attached state; the released groups then underwent matrix detachment from the culture plate (defined as t = 0), while the attached groups were left undisturbed. RNA was isolated from attached and released matrices 6 and 24 hr after t = 0. Gene expression in the attached vs. released condition at 6 or 24 hr then was analyzed by hybridizing the anti-sense RNA derived from attached and released matrices at a given time point onto a single chip. Refer to the attached Figure 1 for the experimental design. The index experiment was defined as the comparison of gene expression in attached vs. released collagen matrices in a single strain of human foreskin fibroblasts at 6 and 24 hr after stress-release (i.e., after t = 0). Each experiment utilized two mechanical conditions (attached and released) at two time points (6 and 24 hr). So with each condition utilizing 6 matrices, each index experiment required a total of 24 matrices. In each index experiment, the chip hybridizations were: (i) 6 hr attached vs. 6 hr released, and (ii) 24 hr attached vs. 24 hr released (i.e., two gene chips per index experiment). Each hybridization was done using a 10K spotted gene chip manufactured in the UNMC Microarray Core Facility. The index experiment was performed on three fibroblast strains, meaning that expressional data was derived from three foreskin donors (nonpooled samples). Dye-swap was not performed; dye assigned to attached vs. released remained constant among all chips. Since the index experiment was performed three times, the total number of gene chips used for this entire dataset was six.

Project description:Lipedema is a chronic, progressive disease of adipose tissue with lack of consistent diagnostic criteria. The aim of this study was a thorough comparative characterization of extracellular microRNAs (miRNAs) from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) of healthy and lipedema adipose tissue. For this, we analyzed 187 extracellular miRNAs in concentrated conditioned medium (cCM) and specifically in small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) enriched thereof by size exclusion chromatography. No significant difference in median particle size and concentration was observed between sEV fractions in healthy and lipedema. We found the majority of miRNAs located predominantly in cCM compared to sEV enriched fraction. Surprisingly, hierarchical clustering of the most variant miRNAs showed that only sEVmiRNA profiles - but not cCMmiRNAs - were impacted by lipedema. Seven sEVmiRNAs (miR-16-5p, miR-29a-3p, miR-24-3p, miR-454-p, miR-144-5p, miR-130a-3p, let-7c-5p) were differently regulated in lipedema and healthy individuals, whereas only one cCMmiRNA (miR-188-5p) was significantly downregulated in lipedema. Comparing SVF from healthy and lipedema patients, we identified sEVs as the lipedema relevant miRNA fraction. This study contributes to identify the potential role of SVF secreted miRNAs in lipedema.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are minute particles secreted by the cells of living organisms. Although the functional role of EVs is not yet clear, recent work has highlighted their role in intercellular communication. Here, we expand on this view by suggesting that EVs can also mediate communication among interacting organisms such as hosts, pathogens and vectors. This inter-kingdom communication via EVs is likely to have important evolutionary consequences ranging from adaptation of parasites to specialized niches in the host, to host resistance and evolution and maintenance of parasite virulence and transmissibility. A potential system to explore these consequences is the interaction among the human host, the mosquito vector and Plasmodium parasite involved in the malaria disease. Indeed, recent studies have found that EVs derived from Plasmodium infected red blood cells in humans are likely mediating the parasite's transition from the asexual to sexual stage, which might facilitate transmission to the mosquito vector. However, more work is needed to establish the adaptive consequences of this EV signaling among different taxa. We suggest that an integrative molecular approach, including a comparative phylogenetic analysis of the molecules (e.g., proteins and nucleic acids) derived from the EVs of interacting organisms (and their closely-related species) in the malaria system will prove useful for understanding interkingdom communication. Such analyses will also shed light on the evolution and persistence of host, parasite and vector interactions, with implications for the control of vector borne infectious diseases.

Project description:Cells shape their extracellular milieu by secreting intracellular products into the environment including extracellular vesicles which are lipid-bilayer limited membrane particles. These vesicles carry out a range of functions, including regulation of coagulation, via multiple contributor mechanisms. Urinary extracellular vesicles are secreted by various cells, lining the urinary space, including the nephron and bladder. They are known to have procoagulant properties, however, the details of this function, beyond tissue factor are not well known. The aim of the study was to access the role of urinary extracellular vesicles in impacting coagulation upon supplementation to plasma. This could indicate their physiological function upon kidney injury or pathology. Supplementation to standard human plasma and plasmas deficient in various coagulation factors was used for this purpose, and calibrated automated thrombogram (CAT®) was the major technique applied. We found that these vesicles contain multiple coagulation-related factors, and their lipid composition affects coagulation activities of plasma upon supplementation. Remarkably, these vesicles can restore thrombin generation in FVII, FVIII, FIX and FXI -deficient plasmas. This study explores the multiple roles of urinary extracellular vesicles in coagulation in in vitro blood coagulation and implies their importance in its regulation by several mechanisms.

Project description:From eukaryotes to prokaryotes, all cells secrete extracellular vesicles (EVs) as part of their regular homeostasis, intercellular communication, and cargo disposal. Accumulating evidence suggests that small EVs carry functional small RNAs, potentially serving as extracellular messengers and liquid-biopsy markers. Yet, the complete transcriptomic landscape of EV-associated small RNAs during disease progression is poorly delineated due to critical limitations including the protocols used for sequencing, suboptimal alignment of short reads (20-50 nt), and uncharacterized genome annotations-often denoted as the 'dark matter' of the genome. In this study, we investigate the EV-associated small unannotated RNAs that arise from endogenous genes and are part of the genomic 'dark matter', which may play a key emerging role in regulating gene expression and translational mechanisms. To address this, we created a distinct small RNAseq dataset from human prostate cancer & benign tissues, and EVs derived from blood (pre- & post-prostatectomy), urine, and human prostate carcinoma epithelial cell line. We then developed an unsupervised data-based bioinformatic pipeline that recognizes biologically relevant transcriptional signals irrespective of their genomic annotation. Using this approach, we discovered distinct EV-RNA expression patterns emerging from the un-annotated genomic regions (UGRs) of the transcriptomes associated with tissue-specific phenotypes. We have named these novel EV-associated small RNAs as 'EV-UGRs' or "EV-dark matter". Here, we demonstrate that EV-UGR gene expressions are downregulated by ∼100 fold (FDR < 0.05) in the circulating serum EVs from aggressive prostate cancer subjects. Remarkably, these EV-UGRs expression signatures were regained (upregulated) after radical prostatectomy in the same follow-up patients. Finally, we developed a stem-loop RT-qPCR assay that validated prostate cancer-specific EV-UGRs for selective fluid-based diagnostics. Overall, using an unsupervised data driven approach, we investigate the 'dark matter' of EV-transcriptome and demonstrate that EV-UGRs carry tissue-specific Information that significantly alters pre- and post-prostatectomy in the prostate cancer patients. Although further validation in randomized clinical trials is required, this new class of EV-RNAs hold promise in liquid-biopsy by avoiding highly invasive biopsy procedures in prostate cancer.

Project description:Increasing pre-clinical data suggest that chemotherapy may elicit pro-metastatic responses in breast cancer models. Primary tumours release extracellular vesicles (EVs) that can facilitate the seeding and growth of metastatic cancer cells in distant organs, but the effects of chemotherapy on pro-metastatic EVs are poorly understood. The goal of the project was to analyse the protein content in EVs released by the mouse breast cancer cell line 4T1 after treatment with the chemotherapeutic agent paclitaxel (PTX) or its vehicle control cremophor (CREMO).
