Multiomic integration reveals neuronal-extracellular vesicle coordination of gliotic responses in degeneration.

ABSTRACT: In the central nervous system (CNS), including in the retina, neuronal-to-glial communication is critical for maintaining tissue homeostasis including signal transmission, transfer of trophic factors, and in the modulation of inflammation. Extracellular vesicle (EV)-mediated transport of molecular messages to regulate these processes has been suggested as a mechanism by which bidirectional communication between neuronal and glial cells can occur. In this work we employed multiomics integration to investigate the role of EV communication pathways from neurons to glial cells within the CNS, using the mouse retina as a readily accessible representative CNS tissue. Further, using a well-established model of degeneration, we aimed to uncover how dysregulation of homeostatic messaging between neurons and glia via EV can result in retinal and neurodegenerative diseases. EV proteomics, glia microRNA (miRNA) Open Array and small RNA sequencing, and retinal single cell sequencing were performed, with datasets integrated and analysed computationally. Results demonstrated that exogenous transfer of neuronal miRNA to glial cells was mediated by EV and occurred as a targeted response during degeneration to modulate gliotic inflammation. Taken together, our results support a model of neuronal-to-glial communication via EV, which could be harnessed for therapeutic targeting to slow the progression of retinal-, and neuro-degenerations of the CNS.

Project description:ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to reveal the presence of cellular interplay through extracellular vesicle (EV) microRNAs (miRs), to dampen the vicious cycle to degenerate human corneal endothelium (HCE) tissues.DesignProspective, comparative, observational study.MethodsThe miR levels in neonate-derived corneal tissues, in the aqueous humor (AqH) of bullous keratoplasty and cataract patients, as well as in the culture supernatant (CS) and EV of cultured human corneal endothelial cells (hCECs), were determined using 3D-Gene human miR chips and then validated using the real-time polymerase chain reaction. The extracellularly released miRs were profiled after the forced downregulation of cellular miR-34a, either by an miR-34a inhibitor or exposure to H2O2. The senescence-associated secretory phenotypes and mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) were assessed to determine the functional features of the released miRs.Main outcome measuresIdentification of functional miRs attenuating HCE degeneration.ResultsThe miRs in AqH were classified into 2 groups: expression in 1 group was significantly reduced in neonate-derived tissues, whereas that in the other group remained almost constant, independent of aging. The miR-34a and -29 families were typical in the former group, whereas miR-184 and -24-3p were typical in the latter. Additionally, a larger amount of the latter miRs was detected in AqH compared with those of the former miRs. There was also a greater abundance of miR-184 and -24-3p in hCECs, EV, and CS in fully mature CD44-/dull hCEC, leading to sufficient clinical tissue regenerative capacity in cell injection therapy. The repression of cellular miR-34a, either due to miR-34a inhibitors or exposure to oxidative stress, unexpectedly resulted in the elevated release of miR-184 and -24-3p. Secretions of VEGF, interleukin 6, monocyte chemotactic protein-1, and MMP were all repressed in both mature CD44-/dull and degenerated CD44+++ hCEC, transfected with an miR-184 mimic.ConclusionsThe elevated release of miR-184 into AqH may constitute cellular interplay that prevents the aggravation of HCE degeneration induced by oxidative stress, thereby sustaining tissue homeostasis in HCE.
