Project description:RNA transfer via extracellular vesicles (EVs) influences cell phenotypes; however, lack of information regarding biogenesis of RNA-containing EVs has limited progress in the field. Here, we identify endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact sites (ER MCS) as platforms for generation of RNA-containing EVs. We identify a subpopulation of small EVs that is highly enriched in RNA and regulated by the ER MCS linker protein VAP-A. Functionally, VAP-A-regulated EVs are critical for miR-100 transfer between cells and in vivo tumor formation. Lipid analysis of VAP-A-knockdown EVs revealed reductions in the EV biogenesis lipid ceramide. Knockdown of the VAP-A-binding ceramide transfer protein CERT led to similar defects in EV RNA content. Imaging experiments revealed that VAP-A promotes lumenal filling of multivesicular bodies (MVBs). CERT localizes to MVBs, and the ceramide-generating enzyme neutral sphingomyelinase 2 colocalizes with VAP-A-positive ER. We propose that ceramide transfer via VAP-A-CERT linkages drives biogenesis of a select RNA-containing population.

Project description:Exosome-like extracellular vesicles (EVs) are very important vesicles for intercellular signal transmission. Although host factors involving exosome-like EV production and release has been reported, the cellular signaling pathway regulating EV production is largely unknown. Here we performed a kinase inhibitor library screening to identify pathways controlling EV’s production. We found a kinase inhibitor, APY0201, which significantly increased EV secretion through upregulation of intracellular sterol synthesis and the volume of intracellular multivesicular bodies (MVBs). APY0201 specifically caused the decrease of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) phosphorylation and activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein (SREBP1), a pivotal transcription factor of sterol synthesis gene expression. In addition, both AMPK agonist and SREBP inhibitor deteriorate augmented EV production induced by APY0201. Ectopic expression of AMPK and SREBP1 corroborated that AMPK and SREBP1 are two major host factors governing the production of exosome-like EVs. Taken together, we identified that APY0201 is a novel kinase inhibitor targeting AMPK-SREBP1 pathway which is important for EV biogenesis and release. Our findings might pave the way to achievable finely upregulated EV production.

Project description:Oncogenes reprogram multiple metabolic phenotypes of cancer cells including the balance between anabolic and catabolic processes, mechanisms of nutrient uptake, and choices in nutrient utilization. Here, we explore how different oncogenes regulate biomass loss via extracellular vesicle release. We use isogenic mammary breast epithelial cells transformed with a panel of oncogenes found commonly mutated, amplified or overexpressed in multiple cancers. We observe an increase in extracellular vesicle (EV) release upon oncogenic transformation, with MYC and AURKB oncogenes eliciting the highest number of EVs produced. Oncogene expression altered the protein composition of released EVs. Likewise, miRNAs were differentially sorted into EVs in an oncogene-specific manner. We performed an integrated pathway analysis of metabolites and gene expression across different oncogene-expressing cells and identified that ceramide-sphingosine metabolism was broadly deregulated, especially in MYC overexpressing cells. Inhibition of neutral sphingomyelinases (N-SMase) resulted in significant decrease in EV production in MYC high cells, while ESCRT-dependent small EV production predominated in AURKB cells.

Project description:Over the past decade, membrane vesicles, known as exosomes, have garnered significant attention due to their potential as natural nanocarriers. Recently, it was discovered that plants also release extracellular vesicles (EVs). Yet, our understanding of EV production in plant cell culture remains limited. In this study, we used callus culture of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana to isolate and comprehensively characterize EVs emanating from cultivated cells. Our findings reveal that the quantity of EVs in calli was significantly lower than in the plant's apoplastic fluid. This discrepancy is linked to the transcriptional repression of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) genes. While salicylic acid elevated the expression of ESCRT components, it did not boost EV production. Remarkably, EVs from calli encompass proteins pivotal for cell wall biogenesis and defense mechanisms, as well as microRNAs consistent with those in intact plants. This indicates that plant cell cultures might be a viable source of EVs reflecting the properties of the parent plant species. Nevertheless, additional research is crucial to pinpoint the optimal conditions for efficient EV production.

Project description:Exosomes transport a variety of macromolecules and modulate intercellular communication in physiology and disease. However, the regulation mechanisms that determine exosome contents during exosome biogenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we identify GPR143, an atypical GPCR, as a regulator of the endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-dependent exosome biogenesis pathway. GPR143 interacts with HRS (an ESCRT-0 Subunit) and promotes its association to cargo proteins, such as EGFR, which subsequently enables selective protein sorting into intralumenal vesicles (ILVs) in multivesicular bodies (MVBs). GPR143 is elevated in multiple cancers and quantitative proteomic and RNA profiling of exosomes revealed the GPR143-ESCRT pathway promotes secretion of exosomes that carry unique cargo, including integrins signaling proteins. By gain- and loss-of-function studies, we reveal GPR143 promotes metastasis by secreting exosomes and increasing cell motility/invasion through the integrin/FAK/Src pathway. These finding uncover a mechanism that regulates the exosomal proteome and demonstrate its ability to promote cancer metastasis.

Project description:Abscission is the final stage of cytokinesis whereby the midbody, a thin intercellular bridge, is resolved to separate the daughter cells. Cytokinetic abscission is mediated by the Endosomal Sorting Complex Required for Transport (ESCRT), a conserved membrane remodelling machinery. The midbody organiser CEP55 recruits early acting ESCRT factors such as ESCRT-I and ALIX, which subsequently initiate the formation of ESCRT-III polymers that sever the midbody. We now identify UMAD1 as an ESCRT-I subunit that facilitates abscission. UMAD1 selectively associates with VPS37C and VPS37B, supporting the formation of cytokinesis-specific ESCRT-I assemblies. TSG101 recruits UMAD1 to the site of midbody abscission, to stabilise the CEP55/ESCRT-I interaction. We further demonstrate that the UMAD1/ESCRT-I interaction facilitates the final step of cytokinesis. Paradoxically, UMAD1 and ALIX co-depletion has synergistic effects on abscission whilst ESCRT-III recruitment to the midbody is not inhibited. Importantly, we find that both UMAD1 and ALIX are required for the dynamic exchange of ESCRT-III subunits at the midbody. Therefore, UMAD1 reveals a key functional connection between ESCRT-I and ESCRT-III that is required for cytokinesis.

Project description:Microglia are resident immune cells of the brain that play important roles in mediating inflammatory responses in several neurological diseases via direct and indirect mechanisms. One indirect mechanism may involve extracellular vesicle (EV) release, so that the molecular cargo transported by microglia-derived EVs can have functional effects by facilitating intercellular communication. The molecular composition of microglia-derived EVs, and how microglial activation states impacts EV composition and EV-mediated effects in neuroinflammation, remain poorly understood. We hypothesize that microglia-derived EVs have unique molecular profiles that are determined by microglial activation state. Using size-exclusion chromatography to purify EVs from BV2 microglia, combined with proteomic (label-free quantitative mass spectrometry or LFQ-MS) and transcriptomic (mRNA and non-coding RNA seq) methods, we obtained comprehensive molecular profiles of microglia-derived EVs. LFQ-MS identified several classic EV proteins (tetraspanins, ESCRT machinery, and heat shock proteins), in addition to over 200 proteins not previously reported in the literature. Unique mRNA and microRNA signatures of microglia-derived EVs were also identified. After treating BV2 microglia with lipopolysaccharide (LPS), interleukin-10, or transforming growth factor beta, to mimic pro-inflammatory, anti-inflammatory, or homeostatic states, respectively, LFQ-MS and RNA seq revealed novel state-specific proteomic and transcriptomic signatures of microglia-derived EVs. Particularly, LPS treatment had the most profound impact on proteomic and transcriptomic compositions of microglia-derived EVs. Furthermore, we found that EVs derived from LPS-activated microglia were able to induce pro-inflammatory transcriptomic changes in resting responder microglia, confirming the ability of microglia-derived EVs to relay functionally-relevant inflammatory signals. These comprehensive microglia-EV molecular datasets represent important resources for the neuroscience and glial communities, and provide novel insights into the role of microglia-derived EVs in neuroinflammation.

Project description:Extracellular vesicles (EVs) secreted by tumor cells are able to establish a pre-metastatic niche in distant organs, or on the contrary, exert anti-tumor activity. The mechanisms directing distinct EV functions are unknown. Using the B-16V transplantation mouse melanoma model we demonstrate that EVs from B-16V cells mobilize Ly6Clow patrolling monocytes and inhibit lung metastasis. Mechanistically, the formation of anti-tumor-EVs was dependent on the chaperone BAG6 and the acetylation of p53 by the BAG6/CBP/p300-acetylase complex, followed by the recruitment of components of the endosomal sorting complexes required for transport (ESCRT) via a P(S/T)AP double motif of BAG6. By contrast, deficiency of BAG6 led to the release of a distinct vesicle subtype with pro-tumorigenic activity, which recruited neutrophils to the pre-metastatic niche. In humans, BAG6 expression decreases in late-stage melanoma patients, correlating with an increase of the mRNA for the metastasis driver alpha-catulin in EVs, as observed in BAG6-deficient mouse EVs. We conclude that the BAG6/CBP/p300-p53 axis is a key pathway directing EV-formation and function.
