Project description:As any other radial glia in the central nervous system, Müller glia derive from the same neuroepithelial precursors, perform similar functions and exhibit neurogenic properties as radial glia in the brain. Müller glial cells retain progenitor-like characteristics in the adult human eye, and can partially restore visual function upon intravitreal transplantation into animal models of glaucoma. Recently, it has been demonstrated that intracellular communication is possible via the secretion of nano-sized membrane-bound extracellular vesicles (EV), which contain bioactive molecules like microRNA (miRNA) and proteins that induce phenotypic changes when internalised by recipient cells. We conducted high-throughput sequencing to profile the microRNA signature of EV populations secreted by Müller glia in culture, and used bioinformatic tools to evaluate their potential role in the neuroprotective signalling attributed to these cells. Sequencing of miRNA within Müller EV suggested enrichment with species associated with stem cells such as miR-21 and miR-16, as well as with miRNA previously found to play a role in diverse Müller cell functions in the retina: miR-9, miR-125b and the let-7 family. A total of 51 miRNA were found to be differentially enriched in EV compared to whole cells from which EV originated. Bioinformatic analyses also indicated preferential enrichment of species demonstrated to regulate genes involved in cell proliferation and survival, including PTEN the master inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT pathway. The results suggest that the release by Müller cells of miRNA-enriched EV abundant in species that regulate anti-apoptotic signalling networks, is likely to represent a significant proportion of the neuroprotective effect observed after transplantation of these cells into animal models of retinal ganglion cell (RGC)-depletion. Future work will seek to evaluate the modulation of putative genes, as well as the activation of these pathways in in vitro and in vivo models following the internalisation of Müller-EV by target retinal neurons.

Project description:Various culture media that can rapidly expand bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are currently available. However, the effects of those culture media on the contents of extracellular vesicles released by bone marrow stromal cells have not been fully understood. Using BMSCs from 6 healthy donors were cultured in two different culture media and characterized the small RNA profiles in extracellular vesicles.

Project description:To address the function of Rax in differentiated Müller glial cells, we generated Rax tamoxifen-induced conditional knock-out (Rax iCKO) mice, where Rax can be depleted in mTFP-labeled Müller glial cells upon tamoxifen treatment, by crossing Raxflox/flox mice with Rlbp1-CreERT2 mice and found histological characteristic of reactive gliosis and an enhanced gliosis of Müller glial cells in the Rax iCKO retina under normal and stress conditions, respectively. RNA sequencing using isolated Müller glial cells from the Rax iCKO retina by fluorescence-activated cell sorting demonstrated that reduced expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling-3 (Socs3), whose depletion leads to reactive gliosis in Müller glial cells. Reporter gene assays showed that Rax directly transactivates Socs3 and we observed decreased expression of Socs3 in Müller glial cells of the Rax iCKO retina by immunostaining. Taken together, these results suggest that the Rax homeoprotein suppresses reactive gliosis in Müller glial cells by transactivating Socs3 in vivo. Our results may shed light on the transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying Müller glial cell homeostasis.

Project description:Background: There is some evidence demonstrating the effect of psychological interventions in improvements in health biological parameters. To best of our knowledge, no study had addressed the impact of any psychological intervention on extracellular vesicles. In addition, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) and Emotion Focused Therapy for Cancer Recovery (EFT-CR) in the group have never been explored regarding extracellular vesicles and the effectiveness of these was not compared yet.
Objectives:
1. To explore and compare the effect of MBCT and EFT-CR on biological parameters and psychological variables in distressed people who have had breast, prostate and colorectal cancer;
2. In addition, we will explore the acceptability through recruitment and retention rates of MBCT and EFT-CR in group and evaluate whether these interventions are appropriate for a larger clinical trial.
Methods: The design of this study is a parallel randomized controlled trial. Participants will be randomized into MBCT, EFT-CR or usual care. Outcome measures will be assessed before, at the end of the intervention (8 weeks) and follow-ups (24 and 52 weeks from the baseline moment).
Hypotheses: The researchers expected that both interventions will have an effect on extracellular vesicles and other study biomarkers as well as improvements in psychological outcomes, compared to treatment as usual (TAU) group. Regarding the comparative effectiveness, we did not have evidence to hypothesize which one of the interventions will be superior in both biological (extracellular vesicles) and psychological outcomes.
Contribution for practice: The results of this preliminary study would permit to know if there are benefits of these psychological interventions on changes in extracellular vesicles and on psychological outcomes related to health. In addition, this study will permit to determine the acceptability of conducting a larger randomized controlled trial.

Project description:Coagulation protease factor VIIa (FVIIa) is shown to induce anti-inflammatory and barrier protective effects via endothelial cell protein C receptor (EPCR)-dependent, protease-activated receptor-1 (PAR1)-mediated cell signaling. FVII-EPCR-PAR1 signaling also induces the release of extracellular vesicles from endothelial cells. To obtain clues on whether microRNA (miR) carried out by FVIIa-released EEVs contribute to anti-inflammatory and barrier protective effects, we analyzed miR expression in control- and FVIIa-released EEVs by deep sequencing. These data revealed that several anti-inflammatory miR expression was higher (more than 2-fold) in FVIIa-released EEVs compared to control EEVs, the most predominant being miR10a-5p. The differential expression of miR10a-5p and several other abundant miRs were validated by qRT-PCR. Subsequent in vitro and in vivo experiments showed that miR10a in FVIIa-released EEVs contribute to anti-inflammatory and barrier protective effects.

Project description:Intercellular communication is critical for integrating complex signals in multicellular eukaryotes. Vascular endothelial cells and T lymphocytes closely interact during the recirculation and trans-endothelial migration of T cells. In addition to direct cell-cell contact, we show that T cell derived extracellular vesicles can interact with endothelial cells and modulate their cellular functions. Thrombospondin-1 and its receptor CD47 are expressed on exosomes/ectosomes derived from T cells, and these extracellular vesicles are internalized and modulate signaling in both T cells and endothelial cells. Extracellular vesicles released from cells expressing or lacking CD47 differentially regulate activation of T cells induced by engaging the T cell receptor. Similarly, T cell-derived extracellular vesicles modulate endothelial cell responses to vascular endothelial growth factor and tube formation in a CD47-dependent manner. Uptake of T cell derived extracellular vesicles by recipient endothelial cells globally alters gene expression in a CD47-dependent manner. CD47 also regulates the mRNA content of extracellular vesicles in a manner consistent with some of the resulting alterations in target endothelial cell gene expression. Therefore, the thrombospondin-1 receptor CD47 directly or indirectly regulates intercellular communication mediated by the transfer of extracellular vesicles between vascular cells. HuVEC cells were cocultured with exosomes derived either from Jurkat or JinB8 cells culture media. Each condition was done in triplicate. Also, Exosome RNA from Jurkat or JINB8 cells were compared to each other in triplicate.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane vesicles released by all cell types and contain proteins and non-coding RNAs, which are transported into recipient cells to regulate their signal transduction and functions. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that EV shuttling is an effective means of bio-molecule transportation among various cell types in the tumor microenvironment, and thus plays a critical role in regulating cancer cell biology. Previous studies have shown that TAMs are an important source of extracellular vesicles and the extracellular vesicles released by TAMs can promote the invasiveness of breast cancer cells. In this study, we studied the differential expression of TAM EV and the donor cells.
