Expression data of miRNA from parental B16F0 cells and B16F0 exosomes [miRNA]

ABSTRACT: As a type of secreted membrane vesicle, exosomes are emerging as an important mode of cell-to-cell communication. The objective of this study was to compare the abundance of mRNA and miRNA present in the parental B16F0 cell to mRNA and miRNA present in exosomes isolated from B16F0 conditioned media. Identifying local mechanisms of immunosuppression is a key barrier for expanding the clinical benefit of cancer immunotherapy. While exosomes are emerging as a new mode of intercellular communication, their role in establishing a malignant tissue niche remains unclear. Similar to the sculpting of tumor antigens during oncogenesis, a related hypothesis is that proteins secreted by malignant cells are shaped by somatic evolution. To test this hypothesis, we characterized the biological influence of tumor-derived exosomes on immune cell function.

Project description:As a type of secreted membrane vesicle, exosomes are emerging as an important mode of cell-to-cell communication. The objective of this study was to compare the abundance of transcripts present in the parental B16F0 cell to transcripts present in exosomes isolated from B16F0 conditioned media. Identifying local mechanisms of immunosuppression is a key barrier for expanding the clinical benefit of cancer immunotherapy. While exosomes are emerging as a new mode of intercellular communication, their role in establishing a malignant tissue niche remains unclear. Similar to the sculpting of tumor antigens during oncogenesis, a related hypothesis is that proteins secreted by malignant cells are shaped by somatic evolution. To test this hypothesis, we characterized the biological influence of tumor-derived exosomes on immune cell function. In particular, we analyzed exosomes from three melanoma models: B16F0, a non-immunogenic model of malignant melanoma; Cloudman S91, a model of immunogenic melanoma; and Melan-A, an immortalized melanocyte cell line. Using electron microscopy, exosomes derived from all three cell lines were morphologically similar. The exosomes contained receptors derived from the parent cell as demonstrated by IL12RB2 expression on B16F0 exosomes and intact mRNAs. Furthermore, transcript profiling of B16F0 exosomes and cells suggested that exosomal mRNA is enriched for mRNAs that target immune-related pathways, including Ptpn11 that inhibited T cell proliferation and Dnmt3a that inhibited T cell production of IFN-gamma. Functionally, B16F0 exosomes dose-dependently suppressed cell proliferation and the expression of IL12RB2 in primary CD8+ T cells. In contrast, Cloudman S91 exosomes promoted T cell proliferation and Melan-A exosomes had a negligible effect on primary CD8+ T cells. Collectively, the results are consistent with somatic editing of exosomal payloads and suggest that exosomes establish a density-dependent field effect by altering the activity of immune cells that enter the tumor microenvironment.

Project description:Exosomes are molecular entities derived from membrane vesicles of endocytic origin secreted by most cell types. These vesicles are implicated in cell-to-cell communication, deliver proteins and mRNA molecules between cells. Recent studies have shown that exosomes are found in body fluids such as saliva, blood, urine, amniotic fluid, malignant ascites, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, synovial fluids and breast milk. Exosomes secreted through human saliva contain mRNA may potentially be useful for diagnostic purposes. Although the exact protective mechanism of saliva RNA is a topic of debate, the consensus is that the enrichment of mRNAs in these nano-vesicles in one of the features of the biomarker discoveries. Our aim was to determine if exosomes are present in human saliva and to nano-characterize their transcriptomic content. Exosomes were purified by differential ultracentrifugation, identified by immunoelectron microscopy, flow cytometry and western blot using a CD-63 antibody. Atomic force microscopy studies revealed ultra structural analysis of both size and density of exosomes. Microarray analysis revealed the presence of 590 mRNA core transcripts are relatively stable inside the exosomes, which can be of saliva mRNA biomarkers. Exosomal mRNA stability was determined by detergent lyses with treatment of RNase. Under in vitro conditions fluorescent dye labeled saliva exosomes were able to communicate between human oral keratinocytes studied by using fluorescence microscopy. The RNA from saliva exosomes can transfer their genetic information to human oral keratinocytes and alters gene expression in the new location. Together, these results suggest that saliva is involved in mRNA trafficking via exosomes, and provides a mechanism for cargoing passenger mRNAs. Our findings are consistent with proposal that exosomes can shuttle RNAs between cells and mRNA is protected inside these vesicles may be a possible resource for biomarker discovery. Experiment Overall Design: Human saliva exosomes were purified through differential centrifugation followed by RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We were able to obtain normal human subjects saliva which are pooled and subjected to ultracentrifugation. The protocol was approved by UCLA Institutional review board. 1 ml of saliva exosomes were used to extract RNA followed by two rounds of amplification by Actorus Amp kit. The amplified RNA was biotin labled and hybridized with Affymetrix protocol.
