Project description:This study addresses the need for non-invasive methods to assess the human endometrium, which is critical for successful pregnancy and is implicated in unexplained infertility. The primary biological relevance lies in determining if extracellular vesicles in uterine fluid (UF-EVs) can serve as a proxy for the cellular state of the endometrial tissue. The intent is to validate a deep learning-based deconvolution approach that uses the transcriptomic profile of UF-EVs to accurately delineate the cellular composition of the endometrium throughout the menstrual cycle. Success in this area would enable detailed endometrial assessment without requiring invasive biopsies. The experimental workflow was designed to compare cellular profiles derived from UF-EVs against those from paired endometrial tissue. The primary dataset consisted of paired endometrial tissue and UF-EV transcriptomes collected from 19 fertile, healthy women across four menstrual cycle phases: proliferative (n=4), early-secretory (n=5), mid-secretory (n=5), and late-secretory (n=5). Two additional unpaired UF-EV samples were also included (phenotypes mapped in main_pheno.csv). For this cohort, small EVs were isolated using size-exclusion chromatography and RNA libraries were prepared with the TruSeq exome RNA library preparation kit. Raw sequencing data was processed with the nf-core/rnaseq pipeline (v3.14) and the RSEM outputs are provided. To map the spatial origin of EVs, the analysis also incorporated endometrial tissue Visium slides from two proliferative (n=2) and two early-secretory (n=2) phase samples (E-MTAB-9260). A deep learning deconvolution model, BulkTrajBlend, was trained on a human endometrial single-cell RNA-seq reference atlas. The trained model was then used to infer cell type proportions in the bulk transcriptomes and to generate pseudo-single-cell (pSC) data (weights in pseudosc_bio.pth and pseudosc_ev.pth), which was subsequently projected onto the spatial transcriptomic slides to visualize the potential tissue origins of the cells secreting EVs.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-enclosed nanoparticles containing specific repertoires of genetic material. In mammals, EVs can mediate the horizontal transfer of various cargos and signaling molecules, notably miRNA and mRNA species. Whether this form of intercellular communication prevails in other metazoans remains unclear. Here, we report the first parallel comparative morphologic and transcriptomic characterization of EVs from Drosophila and human cellular models. Electronic microscopy revealed that Drosophila, like human cells release exosome-like EVs with diameter ranging from 30 to 200 nm, which contain complex populations of transcripts. RNA-seq identified abundant ribosomal RNA pseudogenes and retrotransposons in human and Drosophila EVs. Vault RNAs and Y RNAs abounded in human samples, whereas small nucleolar RNAs involved in pseudouridylation were most prevalent in Drosophila EVs. Numerous mRNAs were identified, largely consisting of exonic sequences displaying full-length read coverage and enriched for translation and electronic transport chain functions. By analogy with human systems, these extensive similarities suggest that EVs could also enable RNA-mediated intercellular communication in Drosophila. We performed RNA-seq on extracellular vesicles purified from of human and Drosophila cell line cultures. S2R+ and D17 Drosophila EVs were analyzed, along with human A431 and HepG2 EVs. No ribosomal RNA depletion or polyA selection was performed on EV samples. For comparative analyses, we also analyzed total cellular RNA from Drosophila D17 and human HepG2. Ribodepletion was performed on cellular samples.

Project description:In the last decade, the interest in extracellular vesicles (EVs) as safe and biocompatible nano-transporters has risen dramatically, as these nanoparticles can be used to increase the delivery efficiency rate and reduce secondary effects. However, the difficulty for its obtention in large quantities represents a major drawback for its utilization. Also, EVs are currently mainly derived from immortalized cell lines, which may arise safety problems when administered to humans. Hence, the shift from cell lines to safer EVs sources would suppose a step ahead for its use as delivery vectors in the biotechnology and biomedical research fields. Here, we provide proteomics characterization of EVs isolated by molecular weight cut-off filtration (MWCO) from four different fermented food industry by-products (FFIBPs), including: i) yogurt whey (named as milk in the raw data files), symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast (SCOBY) from kombucha fermented tea (named as Com in the raw data files), wine pomace (named as Wine in the raw data files) and brewer spend yeast (named as beer in the raw data files).This proteomics characterization will provide key information about composition of by-product derived EVs (BP-EV) uncovering a safe and sustainable EVs source with potential as functional EVs delivery vectors.

Project description:Neuroblastoma (NB) is a pediatric cancer characterized by significant heterogeneity and poor prognosis, particularly in high-risk cases with MYCN amplification. Understanding the molecular response of neuroblastoma to different treatments can provide valuable insights into potential therapeutic strategies. This experiment assessed the in vivo response to treatment with BAY390 and A967079. A neuroblastoma in vivo model was established via subcutaneous injection of human high-risk, MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma organoids into female NSG mice (PDX, LU-NB-3R). Once tumors reached 150 mm³, mice were randomized into treatment groups: control (n=8), A967079 (n=6), and BAY390 (n=7). All drugs were administered via oral gavage at the following concentrations: A967079 (300 mg/kg, once daily) or BAY390 (90 mg/kg, once daily), with a vehicle control group. Treatment was administered for 21 days, after which mice were euthanized. Tumor samples were collected in RNA later and frozen at -80 °C until RNA extraction. RNA was extracted from tumor tissue, and RNA sequencing was performed.

Project description:The present studies tested the hypothesis that the elongating ovine conceptus and uterus produces EVs with the potential to mediate conceptus-maternal communication during early pregnancy. In Study One, EVs were purified from uterine luminal fluid (ULF) of day 14 cyclic sheep. The EVs were fluorescently labeled with PKH67 dye and infused into the uterine lumen of pregnant sheep for 6 days using an osmotic pump. On day 14, labeled EVs were observed in the conceptus trophectoderm and uterine epithelia, but not in the uterine stroma or myometrium. In Study Two, day 14 conceptuses were cultured ex vivo for 24 hours and found to release EVs into the culture medium. Isolated EVs from conceptuses were fluorescently labeled with PKH67 and infused into the uterine lumen of cyclic sheep for 6 days using an osmotic pump. On day 14, labeled EVs were observed in the uterine epithelia, but not in the uterine stroma or myometrium. No evidence of EV escape from the uterine lumen was observed by analysis of the ovary and other maternal tissues. Proteomics analysis of the day 14 conceptus-derived EVs identified 231 proteins that were enriched for extracellular space and several protein classes including proteases, protease inhibitors, chaperones and chaperonins. RNA-sequencing of day 14 conceptus-derived EVs detected expression of 512 mRNAs. The top expressed genes were overrepresented in ribosomal functions and components. These studies support the ideas that EVs emanate from both the conceptus trophectoderm and uterine epithelia and are involved in intercellular communication during the establishment of pregnancy. Transcriptional profiles from day 14 conceptus extracellular vesicles isolated from 24 hour conceptus-conditioned culture media (n=3) were generated by sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 platform.

Project description:Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are associated with aberrant gene expression and epigenetic mechanisms. In particular, de novo DNA methylation is typically linked to gene silencing, but its role in heart disease remains not fully understood. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are active components in cellular communication for their ability to carry a plethora of signalling biomolecules, thus representing a promising new diagnostic/therapeutic approach in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Indeed, there is the need of novel biomarkers for ACS prediction and timely detection. Purpose: We hypothesized that specific epigenetic signals can be carried by EVs. In this regard, we isolated and characterized circulating EVs from ACS patients and evaluated their potential role to influence DNA methylation in target cells. Methods: Circulating EVs were recovered, by ultracentrifugation, from plasma samples of 19 ACS patients and 50 healthy subjects (HS). Nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA) and western blot (WB) were used to confirm the EVs integrity and purity. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of volunteer donors were treated with both ACS and HS derived EVs and genomic DNA was extracted to perform epigenome wide analysis through Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing. ShinyGO, PANTHER, and STRING tools were interrogated to perform GO and PPI network analyses. Flow Cytometry, qRT-PCR, and WB analysis were also performed to evaluate and validate both intra-vesicular and intra-cellular signals. Results: Plasma ACS-derived EVs showed a significant up-regulation of DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) gene expression levels as compared to HS (P<0.001). Specifically, de novo methylation transcripts, as DNMT3A and DNMT3B were significantly increased in plasma ACS-EVs. DNA methylation analysis of PBMCs from volunteer donors treated with HS- and ACS-derived EVs showed that RNF166 and CCND3 genes resulted the most hyper- and hypo-methylated, respectively, after by ACS-EV treatment. In addition, PPI network analysis specifically evidenced the subnetwork with SRC, as a hub gene, connecting it to NOTCH1, FOXO3, CDC42, IKBKG, RXRA, DGKG, known as important genes already involved in the onset of CVDs. Surprising, other novel genes, BAIAP2, SYP, CHL1, and SHB, which were hypomethylated, were found significantly overexpressed in PBMCs (P<0.005), underlying the fundamental modulating properties of EV cargo in atherosclerosis. Conclusions: These findings support the significant role of ACS plasma-derived EVs, inducing de novo DNA methylation signals, and modulating specific signaling pathways in target cells.
