Serum-free media supplements carry miRNAs that co-purify with extracellular vesicles (EVs)

ABSTRACT: With the goal to identify miRNAs and other small RNAs involved in EV-mediated oligodendrocyte-neuron communication, we performed deep sequencing (RNA-seq) of small RNAs derived from EVs isolated from culture supernatants of primary mouse oligodendrocytes by differential centrifugation. Oligodendrocytes were cultured and EVs harvested under serum-free conditions in presence of B27 supplement. We found that RNA isolated from EVs harvested from cells under serum-replacement conditions contains miRNA contaminants carried into the sample by defined media components.

Project description:Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) contain molecular footprints - lipids, proteins, metabolites, RNA, and DNA - from their cell of origin and may provide non-invasive access for detection, characterization, and monitoring of diseases. Consequently, EV-associated RNA and proteins have gained widespread interest in developing liquid-biopsy assays for cancer. Yet, an integrative proteo-transcriptomic landscape of EVs and a direct comparison with their cell of origin remains relatively unexplored. Here, we report that EVs enrich for distinct molecular cargo and their proteo-transcriptome does not linearly correlate with their cell of origin. Our sub-cellular compartment analyses revealed that EV enrich 2-6 times more cytoskeletal and extracellular proteins, while their donor cells cargo 3-10 times more nuclear and mitochondrial proteins. EVs predominantly enrich (40-60%) for small RNA between ~15-200 nucleotides, which include miRNAs, siRNAs, tRNA, 5S rRNAs, and snRNAs, associated with cell differentiation, development, and Wnt signaling signatures. Finally, our integrated proteo-transcriptomic analyses reveal that EVs are enriched with specific small RNAs (RNY3, vtRNA, and MIRLET-7) and their complementary proteins (YBX1, IGF2BP2, SRSF1/2). These analyses suggest that RNA-protein complexes may constitute a functional interaction network inside EVs to protect and regulate access to EV-RNA. To ensure that our analyses are unbiased and independent of the cell of origin, EV isolation methods, site of experimentation, site of data generation, and methodologies applied for RNAseq and mass spectrometry, we have generated and curated comprehensive datasets of proteomics and transcriptomics from a total of 12 cancer cell lines, their EVs, and prostate cancer patientsÕ serum EVs (A detailed description is provided in Fig. 1). These combined analyses demonstrated that irrespective of the cell of origin and other aforementioned conditions, EVs enrich for distinct RNA and protein signatures that do not linearly correlate with their cell of origin.
