Project description:Extracellular Vesicles (EV) are an attractive therapy to boost cardiac regeneration. Nevertheless, identification of EV and corresponding cell platform(s) suitable for therapeutic application, is still a challenge. Here, we isolated EV from key stages of the human induced pluripotent stem cell-cardiomyocyte (hiPSC-CM) differentiation and maturation, i.e., from hiPSC (hiPSC-EV), cardiac progenitors (CPC-EV), immature (CMi-EV) and mature (CMm-EV) cardiomyocytes, with the aim of identifying a promising cell biofactory for EV production, and pinpoint the genetic signatures of bioactive EV. EV were characterized in terms of expression of specific markers, yield, and size. Bioactivity was assessed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) and hiPSC-CM. Small RNA-Seq was performed to identify the differentially expressed miRNA in the four EV groups. Bioactivity assays showed increased tube formation and migration in HUVEC treated with hiPSC-EV compared to EV from committed cell populations. hiPSC-EV also significantly increased hiPSC-CM proliferation. Global miRNA expression profiles corroborated an EV-miRNA pattern indicative of stem cell to cardiomyocyte specification. A stemness maintenance miRNA cluster upregulated in hiPSC-EV was found to target the PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway. Moreover, hiPSC-EV treatment mediated PTEN suppression and increased AKT phosphorylation. Overall, our findings validate hiPSC as suitable cell biofactories for EV production for cardiac regenerative applications.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EV) has been shown to deliver potential microRNA (miRNA) as cargo for specific target cells; effectively, the EV unique nature of the bilayer allows miRNA to be protected from degradation. We used microarray analysis to compare the miRNA profiles of EV isolated from acute antibody-mediated allograft rejection patients (AAMR) and chronic antibody-mediated allograft rejection (CAMR) compared to Tx Controls patients. By microarray miRNA profiling we detected 42 miRNAs downregulated and 34 miRNAs upregulated with FDR < 0.05 and Fold change >2. Principal Component analysis showed that these 76 miRNAs were able to distinguish AMR-derived EV from healthy TX patients. We also investigated whether differences in EV miRNA content could separate AAMR and CAMR patients. We found 9 miRNAs differentially expressed in the two AMR groups (eight downregulated and only one upregulated in AAMR compared to CAMR; effectively, these miRNAs could distinguish AAMR-derived EV from CAMR-derived EV. We then investigated the possible target genes of these miRNAs according to their expression, fold change and the p value; interestingly, several targets were associated to CDKN1A and CDKN2A genes regulation.

Project description:This is for Rigor and Reproducibility study to demonstrate the reproducibility of AFS SOP for EV separation, RNA isolation, and RNA analysis by using saliva samples from healthy individuals. Blinded saliva samples have been processed by two independent AFS operators for EV separation and subjected to miRNA-seq analysis. EV-associated miRNA seqeunces were used as a monitoring tool for Rigor and Reproducibility of AFS process between operators.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to compare the serum extracellular vesicle (EV) delivered miRNA levels of patients with bone-metastatic prostate cancer (PCa), non-bone -metastatic PCa and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and to identify EV-delivered microRNAs in patient’s serum as indicators for bone-metastatic PCa. Methods:Serum extracellular vesicle delivered miRNA profiles of patients with bone-metastatic PCa or non-bone -metastatic PCa or BPH were generated by miRNA chip array, using Agilent-070156 Human_miRNA_V21.0_Microarray plateform. Results: Differential analysis showed the expressions of 27 EV delivered miRNAs were significantly different between serum of patients with bone-metastatic PCa and non-bone-metastatic PCa with a p value <0.05. the expressions of 5 EV delivered miRNAs were confirmed with qRT–PCR. Conclusions: Serum EV-delivered miR-181a-5p is a promising diagnostic biomarker for bone-metastatic PCa.

Project description:Mastitis, the inflammation of the mammary gland, is one of the most prevalent diseases in dairy farming worldwide. Unfortunately, the disease is most often present in a subclinical type with no clear symptoms. The sooner the infection is detected, the less opportunities for the disease to progress and the more treatment options remain available. Milk microRNA (miRNA) encapsulated in extracellular vesicles (EV) have been proposed as potential biomarkers of different mammary gland conditions, including subclinical mastitis. However, little is known about the robustness of EV analysis regarding sampling time-point or natural infections. In order to estimate the reliability of EV measurements in raw bovine milk, we first evaluated the changes in EV size, concentration and miRNA cargo during three consecutive days. Then, we compared milk EV differences from natural infected quarters with high somatic cell count (SCC) with their healthy adjacent quarters with low SCC and quarters from uninfected udders. We found that milk EV miRNA cargo is very stable along three days and that infected quarters do not induce relevant changes in milk EV of adjacent healthy quarters, making them suitable controls. We observed cow-individual changes in immunoregulatory miRNA in quarters with chronic subclinical mastitis, pointing towards infection-specific alterations. Finally, we proposed bta-miR-223 as a potential indicator of subclinical mastitis prognosis in raw milk.
